Public schools are dangerous and ineffectual. I'm sympathetic with the underlying idea that you're tsaking funds away from the state that copuld be used to help the situation but they need to do something...
Gun control and the right to association are both issues I have ambiguous feelings about...
Does my friend in the country have a right to hunt? Do my firends have a right to defend their homes against the *&^%&()()? Yes.
But does the proliferation of guns add to crime?Would controls help in containing the problem? Yes,again.
Association-as long as there aren't controls (ie white collar crime legislation)
the Bosses shouldn't be offered the right to association...

I threw association in there for a particular user. i don't know if he will respond or not, but I know that he gets hot under the collar about "freedom of association".

No, yes, and yes.

As a libertarian, I cannot support the first one.

more choices are better than less choices, but i dont think school vouchers really represent a valid/reasonable choice(it overcomplicates the issue). If you want your kid to go to school somewhere else, do it the old fashioned way: move.

That is interesting. Seems that choice, specifically there, would be very important.

No to the first two, yes to the last.

I would support vouchers if its applied fairly. Any school which accepts vouchers should be required to accpt a cross section of students of varying abilities, economic levels and racial and ethnic groups.

Gun Ownership? Not really. If you want to have a gun you should prove yourself to be responsible first. Maybe requiring owners to take a course in gun safety and resposible gun ownership would be a good idea.

Associaltion? Why not.

Vouchers are to offset the cost for private schooling-opponents feel it's taking money from the coffers for public schooling and aggravating the problem...

Well...maybe...just maybe you should consider yourself indoctrinated.

School vouchers? Depends. Any school recieving tax money would have to meet certain criteria. The situation needs more study.

Gun ownership? Sure. Too complex to go into here.

Freedom of Association? Unless illegal acts are being planned, etc, sure.

Maybe this was JJ's point-we act like the word "choice" only applies to that one situation-maybe it says something about our thinking...

School vouchers? : I think money would be better spend on education system investments so, no.



Gun ownership?: For sport yes and for home protection perhaps, but I would prefer for non-lethal protection methods to be used. If society was already gun saturated like the US I would be forced to say yes, you should be allowed but for other less gun saturated places I would prefer to keep gun levels down.




Association?: Yes, unless some criminal elements were meeting then perhaps the police should know who was at the meeting, but the meeting should not be stopped unless the police know for a fact something illegal (not just something the government does not like) is happening at it. This is an important right for democracy it is important to guard it.
