SBorris: You make excellent points about blaming teachers. This is true. I disagree with your definition of Left/Lib vs Right/Conserv….because although it’s true theoretically in some textbook def, it’s not true for the last X decades of increasing government interference……taking huge fractions of our paychecks in what’s supposed to be our dynamic, capitalist economy. The current Left/Libs want a further slide towards European semi-socialism and I’m not talking about govt takeover of businesses, so much as infinite entitlement programs. Teachers and the MSM are both to blame for not educating our people better…..they keep our hoi-polloi in an ignorant tunnel vision without good reference points. Your points on energy policy are terrific. Equally or more imp would be to teach about capitalism more thoroughly — there’s a point when world competition will eat us alive if our govt taxes and regulates us to death. We don’t currently have a “tech boom” advantage as we had in the ’90s, so we’re toast if a Lib wins the White House.
