Reply #8: I have known people who have no children...

refuse to vote for any type of tax increase to fund public schools. Having been childless for the first 37 years of my life, I could never understand this mentality because we all benefit from having a well-educated population of kiddos. During the childless part of my life, I viewed it as a pay-it-forward thing. Someone paid for my education when I was growing up and I felt it was my responsibility to do the same. I'll never understand the selfish behaviors of some folks. *sigh*
