: me, biased about the state of education in the state?: erm...yeah ok, I am.
Gee for one of the interesting debaters, this is a second rate ideological rant that was dull to say the least.
I'd have thought that after speaking to RD for so long that you'd be able to portray people considering the cons of capitalism in a more realistic light as it happens you've just wheeled out the watery liberal crying at pictures of starving children argument (Now I'm not totally empathic with the starving but I'll grant you that self-interest means we'll see that we are comfortable before we launch any assault on the establishment.)
Gee capitalism violates Liberty, Equality, Rationality and Morality on a daily basis and your high minded ideology can't stop it, you refuse to acknowledge it, simply saying that that's not capitalism etc.
I do intend to elaborate on this but I'll get your response to this first.
