Good grief! This kind of worthless "hindsight" article is a waste of time!
If written in 1969, or so, when the black-robed clerics proclaimed everyone's offspring to be the government's children it could have been considered significant.
Now is too late. There is zero possibility, short of a violent uprising, of reestablishing a "public" school system. All this "crybaby" stuff is a waste of bandwidth.
We have three generations of marxist serfs managing, training/brainwashing, and birthing mindless serfs.
It is the people my age and older who bear the principle responsibility for letting this happen. It could have been stopped in the 60's, but we simply sat around and bitched...happily complacent that we had survived WWII and the KW.
Now there isn't anyone under the age of 60-65 that has more than the vaguest idea what the individual liberties guaranteed under the former Republic were like even in the 50's. We needed a "Tea Party" in 1965...Now it is too late.
Fortunately, for our rulers, those of us who should have been willing to die to save the remains of the Republic are rapidly disappearing naturally into the ground. Those of us who remain will experience the "political art" of deathcare at an accelerated pace. In 10-15 years the word "freedom" and the phrases "individual liberty" and "individual responsibility" will have been completely purged from the lexicon...
Some of us, including this 72 year-old curmudgeon, did about all we could to tell these morons what was coming for over 40 years. They didn’t listen then and most of them aren’t listening now.
But, despite your negativity about getting it turned around, where there’s life, there’s hope.
Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s off to the kitchen to stick my head in the oven.
Talk about a waste of bandwidth...
