    Ahhh the old addage comes to mind...

    "Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

    Come on gents seriously, some of us are old enough to remember when Insurance itself was voluntary, so were seat belts, infant seats, smoking in a car even, it was the insurance companies and their lobbyists that changed all that.. If you seriously think these devices will continue to be "voluntary" yer smoking the wrong pipe

    Remember sitting on your father's lap and driving the car yourself? Do that with your kid's and see what happens when Officer Friendly pulls you over. Reminds me of the quote from Franklin, :Anybody who would give up their essential liberty for security deserves neither." And this is what has happened and is still happening now.

    Last time I looked there was no pill you took in the morning before you went to class to make you attentive and want to learn. If H.S was a waste take some responsibility. If you wanted to do well in school what held you back? Were the staff really that horrible?

    Private schools can cherry pick students and have the ability to lavish time and money which public schools don't.
