OK,Jon W, you left yourself wide open for this. How come, if conservatives are so all fired up about keeping government out of our lives, is our majority Republican legislature in Colorado about to force the Ten Commandments to be placed in each classroom in the state? They have no idea where the money is to come from to pay for this! I think it is their feeble attempt to deal with the Columbine High School Tragedy, while they refuse to require background checks at supposedly amateur gun shows. They are about to send to our Republican governor a plan to test all our schools, by their criteria, and if they fail according to their standards, they will be forced to become "Charter Schools".The districts with the most money will pass, and the poorer ones, (and there are many), will lose. This idea has been defeated by the electorate, so they have found a legislative solution. Again, they have no idea how this new layer of government is to be funded, except from my tax dollars. So what's this again about keeping government small and out of our lives? I agree in principle, but at least, In Colorado, they are talking the talk, but not walking the walk. BlueJay
