I'm not a hypocrite -- I am a thinking Independent person who doesn't agree with John McCain on some of his issues, primarily what he wants to do with Iraq. There are a some things I don't agree with Obama on either.
I do not consider Obama an "extreme" left wing candidate. If you do, you know nothing about the left wing.

I'm not sure I agree that a public school is a government school, but for the sake if the discussion - okay. I feel like I got a pretty even education at a public school. The most controversial thing I remember happening was two teachers holding a debate on the origins of life -- creationism vs. the big bang. In the last couple of years I attended an interesting discussion seminar given by the Aspen Institute that was hosted by the Federal Executive Institute. It was a month long, so we covered a lot of discussion ground about the constitution, leadership, justice, and freedom. It was a diverse group. Funny, there was a lot of disagreement, but I don't remember it resorting to name calling.
And yes, I would like Jesse Jackson to shut up. Al Sharpton too. And I don't have a problem with church vans being used to drive people to the polls, as long as they are not being peached to while they are being driven and told whom to vote for. I think it is good when a church provides a community service.

It doesn't bother me when people disagree with me. I think that is what makes for interesting discussion. I think name calling is a little sophmoric though.
