The problem with vouchers is that those who promote them want to permit vouchers to be used at religion-funded schools, violating the 1st Amendment.

Until they drop that, vouchers are a horrible, unconstitutional, idea.

Plus, vouchers will lead to a further degradation of public schools, as those left behind, for whatever reason (maybe they can't stomach going to a religious school?), are left in schools with fewer resources.

Isn't it about time to start a discussion about burying power lines, which are very vulnerable to tornadoes, blizzards, and ice storms?

I'm a cyclist.

I obey all traffic rules, to the best of my ability, when I ride.

I am very much in the minority in this regard.
