Victoria “Goldstein” Goldman disagrees with you.

“My true height is an irrational, infinite, non-terminating decimal number known only to God. Your traditional measures of height are inadequate to express my greatness.

I’m 5'5.5".  I *routinely* used to lie and say I was 5'6" instead.  We are indeed a reprehensible bunch.

Like you said - your father stepped in when your math teacher failed to do his job properly.

Yeah. You’ve convinced me that vouchers aren’t a good idea, but it’s not as simple as “just empower the teachers” either.

Maybe if you could figure out an angle to convince them that enacting a specific democratic socialist goal here and there in bits and pieces somehow “owns the libs”.

I’m not a pubic [sic] school teacher and do not claim to have any (or any well-founded) answers

I respect your experience.  I didn’t have firsthand experience with the way that Republicans actually use vouchers to destroy public schools.  Now I am more aware.

The answer may be to listen to the LA teachers themselves

You first, you lousy bullying fuck.

What does that even mean? Ultra-right blah,blah,blah. In your world that probably means anyone who doesn’t agree with you.

Here is an offer:

Counterpoint: the public schools are in part so bad because of the taxpayer money that’s being siphoned off into the various charter systems. It’s not just about tuition; there are myriad ways that private schools happily bleed the public purse behind the scenes.

Yeah, I’m starting to feel the same way.

...assistance of a goat named Tom.

Actually, I think you’re on to something. A lot of our world’s very powerful celebrities have scandals that remind me of psychiatric patients who suffered childhood abuse, and stopped maturing *very* young.

Oh, please. Let’s please not act like Richie Incognito did nothing to provoke this. He bullied a man until that man had a psychotic break. Now we all have to pay Federal police to protect his bullying, racist-white-trash ass.

Not even a little bit, and I’m not thrilled with you lying about me on that score either.

Don’t believe the hype - a lot of gangbangers join up because they want to wild out and act like stupid teenagers, too.

Do you *want* to be a paid mouthpiece for ultra-right corporate and Israeli interests?
