<smile>That sounds like an outstanding school.</smile>
I am quite frankly shocked that a school like that exists today. But perhaps Australia will survive long after America falls. Thanks for quoting the poem. I have seen references to it but never read the full poem until now. Yes, I think it rings true today, particularly if someone can accept the unvarnished truth. All cultures are not equal. Some are superior to others. Hierarchy is not a four-letter word.
No, but "rank" is. As in, "rank order of dominance" -- which is the social order that our Patriots rebelled against in trhe 1770's, and which the Pioneers rebelled against when they crossed the Appalachian Mountains and passed out of contact with the old, "deferential society" of the Eastern Seaboard states. They would rather plunge into a wilderness and deal with the Creeks, the Shawnees, and the Hurons than suffer any longer the pretensions of lawyers, doctors, and businessmen with money in the bank.
That is your liberty heritage. Not primogeniture and social Darwinism, which is just the SOS from the last 8000 years.
