If you want to change the constitution there is a process for that. And not one of you damn people who want me to fund YOUR cause ever thought of using it. (it's called a constitutional convention)
What a load of Ayn Rand BS. The police, Fire, and Highways aren't in the C either, add libraries and public parks/recreation. (actually some of it is, but that is beside your and my points)- Special education is PART of the education system. By your argument, everyone should also educate their own, provide for their own, every damn person for themselves, and F the weak. Yeah, rand would be proud of you.
You have this ancient and outdated concept of the independent "maker" who doesn't need anyone else. The concept predates Rand, it goes back to the "social Darwinism" fallacy of the first Guided Age. The pre-industrial rulers probably had their own name and justification for the same concept.
The reality is that we do need each other. Complex tasks require skills built up over time. That cooperation is what we call "society". Without it we wouldn't be anything other than a few hunter gatherers.

That doesn't really even make sense. You are trying to sound clever and you missed the target by a mile, essentially put words in my mouth, linked them to something else not even part of the discussion, and then acted like you just pointed out my biggest flaw.. You basically said nothing, made a quip and are a poor debater for it.

More BS. Yeah, my best friend is black. So effing what? I call BS, if you had what I had, you would be crying like a 5-year old with a skinned knee for social services to help, because NOBODY, outside of independent wealth (90% of all wealth in the USA through inheretence BTW) could withstand the overall costs associated with just 10 years of autism, much less CP and worse conditions and most would go bankrupt on the medical bills alone, much less the educational needs.

And yet you have no problem with the same nazis taking the same $$ and applying them to fighting turrists, or giving it all away to banksters masquerading as legitimate businessmen, or perhaps is it the roads you drive on to get to work something you approve of? Well I could say why don't YOU go start a charity to have a road paved, because I don't agree with paying for paving... Your arguement isn't just insensitive, but it's inappropriate in that we are a society whether you like it or not, and all societies have collective and individual needs. You only care about the ones that serve you, and everything else is a freekin charity. Clearly you are not interested in being a part of a healthy society, nor deserving of it's benefits IMO.

Actually, yes, you are. I think your words spell out loud and clear what kind of person you are. And I'm not buying your story about your disabled grandkid.. there's no way in hell you and your family provide everything and do not accept ANY program assistance, such as special ed, the short bus, social services such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, IU services, CHIP or medical assistance, etc....
And I'd bet your vagueness about the condition probably means it's some bratty kid with ADHD and that makes you an expert on special needs and autism when the reality is that the kid is just hyperactive and doesn't have any respect for you.
Good day a-hole
