one thing I don’t quite understand is why do most Christians, who are from Middle America, send their kids to secular public schools instead of creating their own religious schools like the Jews and the Catholics?

Lot’s of them do. Most are fairly small and you might not notice them.

Unfortunately a great many Catholic Schools have closed because many Catholics are no longer willing to sacrifice the money necessary to send their children to a Catholic School.

In large part I blame the increased tax burden on the people of this country but I also blame the more materialist culture of America compared to that of 50 or 60 years ago.

I also blame New York for this rise of materialism. NY and California in many ways lead the culture of the US. Where those two states lead (through the popular media) the rest of the country follows.

But perhaps there is hope. Maybe the Tea Party is in a small way a bit of a rebellion against the Cultural Revolution that started in the sixties in NY and California and has devastated this country’s morals and culture.

I don’t think this culture comes from NY. It comes from California, from Hollywood. The other problem comes from universities that are spread out across the country.

Many NY’ers are quite poor. They vote (D) because they want the govt goodies. Many are immigrants and speak many languages. I chuckle when I see complaints from people about government forms in both English and Spanish. Only Spanish? I wish! Here in NYC we have to deal with not just Spanish but also Chinese, Korean, Russian, Arabic and Haitian!
