And your point is?
I am so damn sick and tired of this communist/socialist notion that everything must be equal and everything must be the same! I don't give a rat's behind if one kid receives a better education than another kid. If your (not referring to you specifically) family can afford better education, great! If not, well, maybe you need to sell that big screen television, get rid of the Escalade, and stop buying $200 sneakers for your kids; then, just maybe, if you also get off your lazy backside and get a job instead of collecting Welfare, you might be able to send your kid to a better school than the one the government provides you for free (because you don't pay any taxes).

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
