Well he got a big boost from the religious block as they expect him to go a

I can't say how you see things but the school issue of wanting to inlude
creationism or inspired creation. Is scarry.

There ya go wanting to funnel public funds into private companies. Ya know
private schools (when forced to compete right along side of public schools)
don't do any better.

When Private schools are required to accept special needs students they fall
right down to the levels sustained by public schools. The only way that they
came out better was if they could cherry pick students, leaving behind those
that needed more resources.

Mandatory Military Service... do tell me more. (you can use the other name too
if you like [DRAFT])

Or perhaps people destined to be successful in Business would be successful
anywhere they went. It may not be the military's influence one way or the
ther.

In fact I can't imagine Bill Gates surviving in the military, without money
buying the way...
