Sid Morrison, loosen your bones a little bit. Read his comment carefully and you'll see that he said nothing about government schools indoctrinating pupils to vote Republican. The fact that you were able to reinterpret and rephrase his ad lip comment into an argumentative statement with such, I reluctantly admit, eloquence, shows that you nitpick at people's every word, screening for anything that might rub you the wrong way.
