"How do you sell ideas based on virtue to people who have none?

You don't. You ignore those people--shun them. Start working on our own system within a system. Did you watch the Bill Whittle video on virture?

And a ready-made foundation for that new society is private education. Of course, not all private schools are paragons of virtue, but they are at least more accountable to parents, and parents have some comfort in knowing that a majority of other parents are willing to sacrifice their own material comfort for a better education for their children.

Public education has destroyed this country, and I have always been disheartened by the support it gets among purported conservatives, even on this site. Some even consider compulsory state-run education as a prerequisite to be an advanced nation.

I see that Bill Whittle has a number of videos; was there one in particular you were thinking of?
