The most dangerous type of nonsense is that which is presented behind a facade of logic.

Guest MAV tends to do a very good job of over-simplifying situations, building conclusions on a base of questionable suppositions, stepping over and around counter arguments which undercut his dubious premises and (when none of the other tactics work) moving to personal invective. MAV, even the valid points that you have made are cheapened by the glib context of your ideological bias.

You do not seem to want to address real issues in a manner, or with the intent, that would lead to workable solutions. As long as that is the case you can be dismissed as any flamer would be. Unfortunately, unlike flamers, you cannot and should not be ignored; there are too many people who are so desperate to find easy, painless (to them) solutions to difficult questions - like that of school reform - that your skillfully crafted, but essentially pointless and counter-productive arguments will have some appeal and could become public policy. This would be disastrous.

I can understand why you would drive otherwise reasonable 'catters to flaming. I have no solution for people who think like you. You are immune to logic and insufferable in your arrogance.

Have a nice day
