For others it's our choice of school (though regulated by government). All our supposedly private choices are regulated to some degree by government. Even, yes, sex is regulated by government.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=davefagg.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1339509&amp;post=601&amp;subd=davefagg&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
