I can't vote while writing my check to the IRS, either. The polls aren't open on April 15th.

Technically correct, but of course if you want to, you can write your check to the IRS on voting day. Nothing says you can't pay your estimated taxes early (in most cases you won't have your final numbers for the year until the first week of January or so), or file for an extension and pay 'em late, albeit at a higher ("penalty") rate. You can even fill the check out right there in the voting booth if you want.

Wrong. You can't file before the end of the year. And extensions expire before voting day.

And if a 2nd grader can't choose which school to attend, it's only because the state is severely distorting the market for grammar schools.

[/ QUOTE ]
No, it's because society recognizes that 7-year-olds can't make intelligent decisions about where to obtain their educations.

False anthropomorphization fallacy.

I'm struggling with this. I didn't bring up 2nd graders, you did. You said 2nd graders can't choose where they go to school (and said it as though this were a bad thing). Are you arguing that 7-year-olds should be allowed to choose where they go to school or aren't you?

Are you arguing that parents can't send their kids to a different school? Quit squirming.

Reread your quote. I'll bold it.

Wow, semantical nitpicks FTW. hang your hat on that one, be proud of it!

I quite literally assumed you meant what you had written. You were giving examples of what you saw as coersion by the state. I took it that way because if you meant to say that a 2nd grader's parents can't choose the school their child attends, you're simply wrong. They can not only choose what school their child attends, they can even choose to send their child to no school at all.
