re: #226 JoyousMN

Agree with both of you. I think public education is one of the most important aspects of our democracy. Making sure that everyone has a basic level of education enriches all of us. hmmm…sounds like the reason behind extending health care too.

Couldn’t agree with you more when it comes to mandating basic (ie: High School) education and universal health care coverage as uniting us as a people and as a democracy. My only point is that neither public or private solutions are cure-all’s; what is needed is an appropriate mixture of the 2.
