I like it, but not enough to sign on it. I did sign the most popular one though about treating weed like alcohol.

I just dont like the obvious faults in the case. Forgive debt to banks? Forgive debt to the govt? Do students owe that much to the govt or to school debt in general? A faulty argument wont get anyone anywhere.

But it is an idea on the right track. Students aren't exactly the bad guys and shouldn't have to pay THAT much to learn.

Sad thing is... some people would define ideas like this as socialist. which to the gen pop may as well be communism... which to the gen pop might as well be hitler.


IMHO school has become another way for capitalists to capitalize on the economically disadvantaged in this capitalistic economy.

say that 3 times fast!
