Quoted from Sombody

I guess Catholic school was different- during my sophmore year HS- I got 5 whacks  with a thick belt for looking at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue BEFORE CLASS from the Prefect of Discipline-  Father Felix ( who I am sure now was a Republican who thought inflicting fear and guilt was his job ) - My dad didn't seem to have a problem with that.

Uh..Ohhhh....Sounds like somebody has daddy issues.  And you were able to blame a priest AND a republican...What-a-victim.

Quoted from 55tbird

Schools should get back to teaching what kids need to succeed in the real world...not this politically correct, touch feely, lets not make anyone feel uncomfortable garbage.

Based on our kids scores against the rest of the World, our schools are failing....big time.

The public school system is just another of the many venues through which evolutionary socialism has progressed...if they had their way they would have
your children from birth. Home schooled children excel because they are not exposed to the indoctrination taking place in the public schools...and it is the
reason home schoolers are constantly under attack from the government and the teacher's unions (another socialism vehicle).

AMEN to that!

Quoted from Box A Rox

I have no fear of Big Government, as long as it provides a needed service at a reasonable cost to the taxpayers.  
Big Govt provides our military, CIA/FBI, interstate highway system, air traffic control, etc. etc etc.
All taxpayers resent wasteful government no matter if it's Big/Federal Medium/State or Small/local.

who defines reasonable cost?....maybe I want the expensive beer because I worked my F'en a$$ off for it and then someone else decides it's
not reasonable because I HAVE to give more to an inefficient usurping machine.....

who defines needed service?

who defines when government is big or not so big?

it's like tending to grape vines.....trim trim trim....let the light in keep it off the ground and grapes will be there for a fine wine.....which will
feed the masses and keep them autonomous.....because wine tastes different to each persons palate...I dont want bad wine

government services like unions become stale shew bread and must be removed and/or replaced
