She wasn't even prompted... she just blatantly comes out and asks...
So it's a bit like...
Has she given links to, or even mentioned the podcast on her site? Surely if she has had an epiphany, just like the rest of us have; you immediately, as you do - want to represent the truth as you know it! And to tell others about it!
A simple thing to do would to be to ask her about the dept. of education in a few weeks...
There lies your answer. If she supports it; she is FAIL.. otherwise; great she's probably sincere. I'm guessing she would take the middle ground... not denounce it (as she should), but leave it hanging...
Ah well.. if she/they wanted to appear as if she was coming round to the libertarian way of thinking
(one of the biggest markets out there for HER book.....) and pretty much her target market... then she did the marvelous thing of trying to destroy the 'left wing' tag she has attached to her.
In all honesty, being a cynical bastard - and rightly so, I think this is exactly what happened... I wonder how many libertarians who heard that, went and purchased the book, who otherwise would have dismissed her as an devout obama supporter; and clueless to the real problems.. Well anyway, it remains to be seen. She has far from proven herself in any regard.
SO FAR, she speaks of the problems (half true).. i.e it was only *Bush's fault* so her solutions have absolutely no bearing on reality and are not in fact, 'solutions' because they aren't addressing the problems.
All that being said; I own her book. It's on my shelf. Hmmm k.
