I love it. My friend the conservative has a bleeding heart for special needs kids. This is good.
But I confess I feel ambivalent about this. I mean, if I'm out with my dogs off leash I feel responsible for what they do. If they jump up on you with muddy paws, i've at least got to offer to get your clothes cleaned. But with kids/people it is different. Maybe it really does take a village to raise all our kids, especially those with behavioral disabilities. If that's right it kind of points to what is off about strict libertarianism. Maybe membership in the village does entail some responsibilities?
