That same free market is what caused the MRI you are so proud to be
invented. The government didn't tell anyone "You MUST build the MRI."



You are correct. So the questions should be: Would we even have an MRI
at this time without public schools? Just where would the developers of
modern technology come from?


Man, you just love the "Fallacy of the False Alternative", don't you?

Perhaps because we're a democracy rather than a dictatorship?



If that were true abortion would be outlawed. Every poll shows the vast
majority of the American public apposes abortion. If that is the case in

a
democracy, shouldn't the majority rule?


Really? Every poll I've seen supports abortion.

Neither was taxation... sigh.



The Constitution does not provide for taxation?



No originally.

I'm not sure what polls you are reading, but here is a link that shows
the opposite, i.e. support for legal abortions at about 53 percent, and
opposition at 43 percent. They state this has been the trend for at
least the last decade.

you.

Less biased, perhaps, but definitely not unbiased.

Not originally? Of course it did. See article 1, section 8, clause 1.

Dan,

Look up Tarver on Google. He is a long time troll who never bothers to back
up any of his arguments except with rambling non-sensical "statements of
fact". Give it up.

Michael



nah he's not a troll, he believes his utter garbage.
