<P>But essentially you're taking the position that because you don't want the state to establish and fund public schools, the state should stop.&nbsp; Since the Idaho Constitution calls for the establishment and funding of such schools, the state is acting within its lawful authority in doing so.&nbsp; </P>
<P>Would I be correct in saying that you would like to amend the Idaho Constitution to bar such action on the part of the state?&nbsp; At least from K through 12?</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;&gt;I do *not* want either the State of Idaho or the Federal Government 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;&gt;telling the people what they can/cannot have. By being in the business of 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;&gt;providing a "service", the State is de facto telling us what we can/cannot 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;&gt;have and do. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; I'm sorry, Dale. Was I mistaken when I though I saw you say that you were 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; an advocate of states' rights? Or are you now saying, "I am an advocate 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;of 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; states' rights, except they shouldn't have the right to do anything that I 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; don't want them to do"? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;ROTFL! Great question. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;First, I *am* an advocate of States' rights. However, that doesn't mean that 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the State has unlimited authority, powers, or jurisdiction. Just because the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;State may think/act/and want to be god doesn't mean that it is. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;We are *not* a democracy, you know. :)
