Our educations shouldn't hinge on who can afford it, nor should it exploit those who cannot.No, but our education institutions - from pre-K through college - should be well funded and ensure the best care.How it's being run now isn't doing that.So we should continue the practice of charging exorbitant amounts for education, causing millions of young people to begin their adult lives under a mountain of debt, until...whatever is wrong with our education system is fixed?And where the fuck did I say that?Well your response had nothing to do with taxpayer subsidized public education, so I'm trying to figure out how it's linked to what we're talking about.

Smoking is bad and the majority of medical experts can corroborate with that claim. Must be an appeal to authority fallacy too going by this shit logic.
