The opportunity to go to public school? :biglmao:

Unprecidented = Unlike anything before. The attacks you site are small in nature, and 1 of the 2 wasn't even a radical muslim. Neither changed our lives in the way that the WTC, Pentagon, and Pennsylvania attacks did. The world wept. It rallied around us. We attacked two countries afterward with 40-50 other nations. Our airline industry crashed. We lost millions of jobs. Thousands dead. Billions upon billions in relief and reconstruction. An entire new cabinet level position and department. Expansion of the military. New rules for flying. I can go on for days.

Terrorists attacks have happened for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. But the attacks on 9/11 were like nothing ever seen before. You must have been too busy working on your impressive resume' to notice the impact that it had. If you think OKC or a car bomb in the WTC is on par with what happened that tuesday morning..... then I'm not going to be able to talk to you about it any longer. Your perception is altered, and most likely explains your political views.

I would rather see money spent on the military, than the Dept of Education. Anyday. In fact, I'd rather see the dept of education labeled as a terrorist organization. Its disgusting. Congress should give every student the same opportunity they give their kids.. private school. Vouchers, tax credits, block grants to states to administer public-private co-ops.

And don't worry about debt reduction.... Obama says that it doesn't matter. yet, he called Bush unpatriotic for his spending. What does that make Barrack? A traitor....

Lol, I thought you would enjoy that...

I am orginally from Whitley Co... there are no private schools to be had, therefore, I would not have been educated. The infrastructure that you talk about does not exist. It is like alternative energy, great thought not practical.

I do worry about about debt reduction for both state and federal monies. I believe choices will have to be made, and I choose to educate. I would be considered a "blue dog" democrat.

Now as far as 9/11, I could always come back with Dec 7th. I again disagree with Iraq and the rebuilding of Iraq.

If I was a policy maker, I am at war, I would take the approach of the Old Testiment. It is not humane, but it would have saved 2,000+ servicemen and women's lives.
