Reply #29: excellent answer, wasted on someone who begins with a very dishonest premise.

typical projection, in which they accuse anyone who dares disagree with their dissent as denigrating their POV

what a bunch of crap

by your very own argument, the mere stating of your own position denigrates the views of those with whom you disagree? follow your own logic (along with some of the decent points you make--outside the very broad brush comments you included)

disagree all you want, but I'd like to see some provision of cogent arguments instead of corporatist/teacher/union bashing talking points

quit whining when someone disagrees with your precious disagreements!
