You could have saved yourself some time and just replied to Yupster, above, and wrote: "What he said". Needless to say, I reference you to my reply regarding points 6, 7 and 8a.

Now then, your exclusive comments:

Shouldn't that read "and the separation of church and state funded school"?

No. I meant what I said. I do not believe in private education in a public society. If churches want to try to swindle people out of their money by enrolling their children in courses of religious indoctrination, they have that right. However, I would not dignify such institutions as "schools" -- even if, between "teaching" about six-day Creationism and the glorious resurrection of Christ from the dead, they throw in a little math and English composition courses.

Ah yes, the small business killer. As always the "quality standard of living" will be set too high for the little guy and we'll have 40% unemployment......and taxes on the employed would be about 60%.

Strawman. There are plenty of ways to positively resolve this situation through "appropriate legislation". You know that as well as I do. And yet, you're willing to deny a right that is desired by over 60 percent of the population in order to preserve the petty privilege of about 25-30 percent of the population. Good show.
