Seasons Greetings!
        I too am concerned about the lack of representation out there. If 
there were a Libertarian candidate to vote for, I'd be feverishly pushing the 
button. Sadly, however, that is not the case. It's hard to lean either way 
for the sake of having some sort of voice, but it's what's on your table at 
the moment. Hang in there!
        In regards to your statement regarding Republican support to tax 
credits for private school attendance and their riding the federal control of 
local issues thing, I have to say that they are only trying to use an old 
Democrat ploy... INCREMENTALISM. It would be unrealistic to think that the 
feds will just hand control of the school system back to us and say, "Here ya 
go, we've really been screwing up... OOOPS?" The best we can do at the moment 
is do a little here and a little there, hoping that the general public will 
realize eventually what you and I both know.
        Keep heart, and a happy new year to you!
