/p> p>McCluskey is right about what's wrong with public schools but wrong about the solution. When private schools get enough of their financing from vouchers, the establishment will take them over, just like they have taken over our private colleges and France's Catholic elementary and high schools. Parishes will stop subsidizing parochial schools and the teachers will unionize. It will be as hard to find your kid a kindergarten that shares your values as it is to send your daughter to a college free of the Vagina Monologues. br> -- D.M.

Dear Senator Thompson:

I know you have retired from political office. I know the costs both monetary and personal of running for election to office.

However, I implore you to run for the Presidency. Our party needs you and more important our nation needs you.

I suppose you may get many communications like this. I am neither a political operative or consultant just another citizen.

Please consider or reconsider the matter. There is a great hole in the party which I feel you can ably and nobly fill. I am reminded of another individual who was a radio political commentator during 1974-1976 after he left office as Governor of California. I see and I think our party will see a great resemblance between the two of you.

Yours very truly,
