\"Even if a free market in education is efficient, is it fair? I say it is. Suppose your parents had the money to pay for your college, but refused to do so. Would it be \*fair\* to legally force them to cough up the money? Probably not: You\'re an adult and it\'s their money. I say we should extend taxpayers the same courtesy. If your parents don\'t owe you an education, neither do millions of total strangers.\"
