Freedom. The absence of the force you use to compel me to pay for your child's education.
It's not about you.

I really don't think tjcmd is a parody. I think he is another poster, but I don't think he is intending to be a parody.
Have government schools if you want them. No one is trying to stop you from paying for government schools and sending your children there. I would just like for you to let me pay for the school I want to send my children to instead of being forced to pay for the school you want for yours. Maybe my wife and I would like to have one of us home school the children instead of both parents being forced to work to pay high taxes for your communal world. Your communal world just is not working very well. Time to move in a different direction.
interesting. i think he's a parody.
But he is not funny or over-the-top. What is the point of a parody if you're not going to do one of those?
It's not about you.
Your description of "freedom"equals destroying our economy and national defense. You should really live on an island where you don't benefit from the roads we are "compelled"to build and maintain.
You shouldn't be allowed to use any utility system that we are "compelled" to help pay for.
You are one of the ultimate takers. You are happy to take the benefits of living in a modern society but don't want to pay for them.
RJ is not a taker. He is a generous giver. He recognizes the wonderful benefits he derives from paying high taxes and would do so happily even if no one forced him to do it. RJ and I could maybe agree that you do not have to force people to pay for things that benefit them. You may have to cut off the benefits if they don't pay. That way no one has to fight anyone else. And RJ hates unnecessary roughness.

When Cruz, Perry, and Bachmann think something is a bad idea, I know it is a good idea.
In the past, such a person would have to know the right people and raise substantial start-up capital to get a brick-and-mortar store running. Not anymore. The Internet is the great equalizer when it comes to jobs and opportunity. We should make a commitment, right now, to keep it that way.
I.... I'm so confused.

" Sen. Ted Cruz, who argued net neutrality is like "Obamacare for the Internet" doesn't understand the issue, according to Sen. Al Franken.
The Minnesota Democrat suggested Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that the analogy makes no sense and said that Cruz, a Republican from Texas, doesn't know what he's talking about.
"He has it completely wrong and he just doesn't understand what this issue is," Franken told CNN's Candy Crowley on Sunday."
And:
""ObamaCare was a government program that fixed something, that changed things," Franken said. "This is about reclassifying something so it stays the same. This would keep things exactly the same that they've been.""
