Oh Platt I was expecting better from you. Lets review here. The statement
made by me indicates that the voucher, would not be the full tuition at a
privileged school. you did bring up the topics that a private school
might be even cheaper and would cost less than what the voucher is worth.
Fair enough. But it's very clear, that when my comment ends by saying
"the rest would be paid by the parents" and your reply saying "take the
voucher as FULL payment", indicating on your parts that the school might
do some public good, a charity, or a scholarship of sort. That is fine
and noble. But when Arlo points out your socialist leanings all of the
sudden, well you are not happy.

You make a lousy chess player.
