I wish Ron Paul all the luck in the world... but he is up against a big-time status quo crowd in Congress. We are up against the status quo daily, each one of us, in public school or public service.
Ron Paul invigorates my heart; he never tires of doing good.
Me - I get tired of it from time to time.

This is really getting out of hand. Since when do 8 year olds, or teens for that matter have any rights at all. I have already made it clear to my kids that until they move out of the house, they answer to me & my rules & as such, the only privacy they enjoy is the privacy that I allow them to have.
