Lots (most?) of those schools receive at least some government money. That's why Title IX has played such a big role.

Double post. Sorry. GO VOLS.

I won't disagree with much of the sentiment in the 2nd paragraph but still maintain we have some truly overt differences now and the idea of "scalable" is having issues. We have something like 15 individual urban areas that themselves are more populous than the entire country at the founding...

I actually set forth some parameters that are far, FAR different than what we had at the founding. Just a couple highlights being a population of 3m vs 350m and 13 states vs 50. FWIW I see basically no downside to what your second sentence posits.

Maybe I'm just being cynical but do you believe what I "think" you're stating here is actually possible? By this I mean we're a country of some 350m with 50 different states that are themselves expressly allowed a degree of self-governance. There's a degree of herding cats involved here. At it's...

Tippy tepee.

I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you've got got some bar set so high it's untenable but to say what we're seeing now (and ongoing) regarding immigration isn't a gigantic shift from what came before makes no sense to me. We're literally (already) at the point people are complaining about the...

Seriously? The entire concept of how immigration can be handled has been turned on it's head under Trump/Holman. Remember these days? Not only is that not even remotely a thing now but anyone that ever argues that's acceptable or "just part of the world we live in" will instantly expose...

We'll see how the rest works but I think you could already say immigration has basically been reset. (still in process)

We can all appreciate your restraint and decorum in this matter.

It's like the boy who cried wolf story never existed. Scare tactics (and let's not pretend all sides don't practice such tactics where applicable) have long, loooong been a means to leverage wealth and power. The Climate Catastrophe is one of the biggest since it's truly global in it's scope. At...

Music and food gets cross cultured early and often. Always has.

Well considering the Founders were literally revolutionaries that would be keeping in character.

They'd have fired up the 2A and started shooting in both directions decades ago.
