perhaps it's time that the government ended the failed experiment that is public education and quit spending billions of our tax dollars to fund that failed experiment.

crazy finished high school, a good bit of college, the police academy. several firearms instructor schools, an electronics seminar or twelve, and continuing education in the business world.

But crazy never managed to extract an education from all that "schooling."

He makes that patently obvious every time he signs on here.

Have a nice day in your twisted little LaLa Land, crazy.
