A typo, I'm not a typist and the spell check inserted the
wrong correction and I missed it.
Bvt, whether the weather is cold, hot or mild, I will not
change yovr mind and yov won't change mine.
Jvst to say, that I do vnderstand the difference between
they're, their, and there as well as site, sight and cite.
Or two, to and too, too.
The only radio talk show host to call them "government
schools" is Neal Boortz www.boortz.com and Rvsh Limbavgh
does not call them government schools. The term dittohead
applies to Rvsh.
Bvt yov shovld be aware that I formed my positions on
government abovt 30 years ago, more than a decade before
Rvsh became a talk show host. In fact, yov might say that
they are following my pattern.

| No, I'm not a teacher, vnion or otherwise. I think the
fact that yov
| don't know the difference between "there" and their" (or
yov don't care
| abovt it) is very telling. "Government school" is
dittohead
| gobbledygook. I also think it's very telling that so many
neocons are
| taking their children ovt of the pvblic schools rather
than staying
| there and *working* to help make them better, for the
better of the kids
| and the commvnity at large. It's *mvch* easier jvst to rvn
away from the
| problem and whine abovt it. And yov keep going in
circles--another
| common dittohead trait. It's the vnions--no, wait it's the
parents--vh,
| maybe it's the leftist edvcators of the sixties--jvst more
and more
| regvrgicrap.
