Hoping For Some Input....

Law is creeping back into schools as rules and Old Testament laws are being taught to children younger and younger.

Children do need guidance but they do not need to know the horrors of life through "law" so young that their own spiritual freedom of choice is obliterated by fear and dogma. (what you gonna do when they come for you?)

DARE was one program that entered schools and was imposed upon young children. I am not debating the validity of such a program but just pointing out that programs that promote laws at a young age do encroach upon personal freedom and liberty.

It is to imply that the external law is greater than the internal law of the spirit.

Liberty is walking by the spirit and not by the letter of law.

Without liberty there can be no grace or mercy.

There you go again...

Dys you are a hard person to like.

I think most people just ignore you.

I find it hard to but I am learning.

Does it make you feel better to know that most people only like you superficially?

Rex.

You are way off the mark.

Dys is probably the most beloved member here.

Everyone who's anyone beloves him.

President Theodore Roosevelt said, "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else."

Unpatriotic for a government official to lie? Well, we impeached one president because he lied about his sex life and one because he lied about spying on his competitors. How many times do we accept lies now as ?'matter of fact', the course of ?'doing business'? I worry about the apathy these days, and I understand it. They have us so busy just trying to put food on the table few people lift their heads up and realize what is happening all around them.

I now quote Mr. Jefferson: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness…. These truths were self-evident" (Among moral, reasonable men they could not be argued against). We each have varying talents, physical characteristics, amounts of wealth, etc. However, we all are born "equal" before the Creator. The current modern day concept of economic equality is more akin to Karl Marx than to the Declaration.

Alternatively, as President Ronald Reagan said, "Government is not the solution to the problem; Government is the problem."

Yes of course Mr Red, but that is my bear to cross and I do not ask you to suffer on my behalf although I do expect you to suffer somewhat as i do M Angel just on thegeneral principle of you both being obnoxiious twits.
Give it up to Mary.

Well, Ma - the thread made it 2 whole pages before the usual crap started up.


That's more than I would have guessed.

And Rex - "everyone who's anyone" is definitely a matter of opinion.

He reinforces my point.

Hey Ma -
What will be the readership of your newsletter?

Highly entertaining thread. Momma Angel can quote me on that.

You're providing quite a bit of entertainment elsewhere, edgar, so you deserve all the amusement this one is giving you....

I have a tough skin Dys but you actually hurt MA.

For this you have no respect of mine...

Ma can bounce back. She's been in the jaws of Set and gotten through it okay, so a little of Dys' befuddled nonsense ain't gonna hurt her...

You may be befuddled, little man.

Actually it does hurt her but she does not confide this to all...

I would suggest MR. Possum R Fartbubbles that you report Mr. Dyslexia for violations.

Now who is the real MR. FARTBUBBLES Dys?

Oh a pile on dys thread? Dys, I want to paint your Porsche with a toothbrush and yellow striping paint.

Mr Red I am a calm and reasonable man but I suggest you not push any of my buttons too harsly else you will become virtual dog food. I might add that I do not suffer liars or fools gladly.
Give it up to Mary.

I would prefer dayglo orange.
