Ignore the title; not wanting to make this a political thing, because this issue is definitely a bipartisan failure.  Please read the entire article, as there are various nuggets that you might find enlightening and relevant to the topic at hand.

Some days it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints!

I am not trying to be a jerk here but frankly I will not even read it as the review of the first few sentences make it a very one sided view. Not trying offend you but I do not mind debating talking or discussing and like to here people's own take not that of which is written by someone else.

My interest is how you feel about the topics at hand then the political stuff is to some extent a non-issue.

There is so much food for thought in the article that has nothing to do with politics.  Yes, the author does initially jab the Dems, but the main points about testing-related issues are why I posted the article.  Like I said, neither party is without blame, so politics is not what I'm pushing, here.  I'm not offended if you don't read it.  Each of us makes our own choices.

Well in the end it's nice to have discussion and understand each of our perspectives.
