Did your neighbours have the opportunity to have a subsidised education
when they *were* children?
I can't say that I much mind paying so that others can have the same
advantages I had when I was a child. Especially when I look around here
(in Quebec) and notice that the education the children are getting now
is *much* better than that I had. Life is improving, despite all the
doomsayers.
