no way im sending my kids to public school, if i have kids I personally think bringing a child into this world would be terrible for the world and for the child, its either all BS and the teachers don't care 1 shit about your kid or its full of religious jesus lies.

Haha. FYI I hold a Political Science Degree and work in policy and procedure for my state legislature. Granted it is not Washington, but I know several of the Congressmen and women for our Federal government (Most come from...drum roll please...the state legislatures) and have meet 3 presidents and worked under 3 Governors over 7 General Assemblies. What are you qualifications? Oh let me guess, you read MSNBC and CNN and parrot what you read on message boards.

If this is true perhaps you are not the liberal scum you purport yourself to be . Rather (and this is infinitely better) naive to the realities of the political world

Oh are we dropping credentials now? I have a Master's in International Relations from the 19th ranked university in the world, with the 5th-16th highest ranked program for that degree (depending on who is doing the ranking). I have other postgraduate degrees but they have less direct relevance.

I am not going to state where I work/have worked specifically, but one was a large policy think tank, as well as having done consulting for investments in emerging markets.

Not that you have to have a degree at all to understand our political and healthcare systems.

You just come off as dumb and as one of those conspiratorial anti-government loons. Go put your tricorner hat back on, and don't forget the teabags.

Did you really just brag about having a social science degree? I mean cool story but liberal arts degrees are hardly brag worthy . Let me guess do you also have a English literature degree from brown?

All you have offered in this thread is circular logic and ad hominem attacks. Are you capable of anything more? My money is on no.

I decided based on conversation had in other threads that trying to have legitimate debate in RnF is an exercise in futility. Bunch of ignorant dumb cunts on here for the most part, so I indulge in ad hominem attacks when bored, which is really what RnF is all about anyways.

I am not bragging; I was informing the OP that not everyone was ignorant when it comes to Politics. And feel free to bash Liberal Arts Degrees all you want. It has afforded me many luxuries in life both professionally and financially that many people will never get to experience.

Truth. Not to mention you can't trust a single one of these fools.

So many young doctors and young lawyers here!
