Is the Philosophy of Peace the way to go?

*This being my first debate arguement, please forgive any mistakes or unclarities I may provide. I will begin by stating that this topic is a rather confusing one for me. For weeks I have periodically debated to myself whether or not Ghandi's life was a life well spent or well wasted, in that he was a constant man of peace. No contempt, no hatred, no anger; or at least if he had any, he never showed it. Nothing but kindness to everyone he met, even the whores, liars and whatnot; maybe they ju...

Libertarians have it right on education-school ouchers people, school vouchers.

American high school SAT scores fell by an average of 50 points between 1970 and 1995. During the same time, the federal education budget nearly doubled from $19 billion to $35 billion. In other words, private schools are rewarded when they succeed. Government schools are rewarded even when they fail. Libertarians don't think we're getting our money's worth from the government-run school system. We believe that a dollar-for-dollar tax credit should go to any individual who pays for a child's edu...
