Ah...OTHER people's property. Sorry, you have to buy up and use your own property.

Because there are NO toll roads between my house and my job.

Too bad for you. Guess you have to pay your taxes.

There are NO toll roads within 50 miles of my home, and almost all of my driving is within that radius. I can NOT replace Public Roads with toll roads, no matter how much it seemed like a good argument to you.

Too bad for you...but you are not the one that the world revolves around.

Then, when I want my own fire department, I run into the same problems: those pesky laws that grant certain special priveleges to firemen that I can't get.

Create your own fire dept. Pay for it too.

I'll get ticketed if my fire department speeds or uses the wrong color of flashing lights; sirens are a no-no; connecting to public hydrants will get me fined, at the least; and with all the seat-belt laws, I'd get in deep crap if I let my firemen dangle off the back of my firetruck(s).

You forget that if you have your own fire dept., you don't have to rush to other people's homes. Just your own...and you will already be there.

But nice try.
Well, no, not really...you didn't put much thought at all into it.
Absolutely. And study after study, year after year, shows that Public Schools have gone downhill since the Federal Government got involved. They are simply not capable of efficiently meeting the individual needs of every child in America (hell, they can't even do it inefficiently!)

Fine...get the feds out of it. I agree.

So, I agree with you there - we would all benefit from an educated citizenry. So, let's get education out of the hands of the Federal Government, where it's steadily declining, and give it back to the ones who can actually address each student's needs and areas of excellence on a case-by-case basis: the community.

Again, I agree. Get the Feds out of it.
