I know that with freedom comes responsibility. That the power to make desisions that can and will shape your life can be a wonderful boon. But it also means that you yourself are the one to blame if things go badly.

I know all this. I even accept all this as the way the world should operate.

But it doesn't mean I have to like it.

I’m currently in a quandary about child-rearing.

How much of what I read about child stuff should I believe?

I inherently think that it is important to be aware of the most up-to-date research on child-rearing; if data are out there on the best methods, then I would be a fool to ignore them. But when should I just throw the book out the window? How do I know the difference between what is counter-intuitive and what is just wrong?

What worries me is this – the academic study of Education. These people are scary, and have ruined our school systems with their theories. What if one of these PhDummies wrote the baby book I’m reading? I could melt my child’s brain before she’s 2 months old! EeeeK!

Our neighbor had a good suggestion about what to do about this stuff

Hmmm…

I don't mean to be flippant, but Duh!

Of course, the rest of society hasn't figured this out yet - so I suppose that it isn't that obvious yet.

Lesson learned - Don't make any form of violence a recreational activity!

Fill in the blank with your multiple choice answer:

"In other news today - A local high school's __________ was accused of overly violent hazing practices"

A: Football Team
B: Math Team
C: ROTC

Is that your final answer?

Would you vote for this son-of-a-Bush?

The great state of Texas, under the leadership of Governor George W. Bush, is ranked:
50th in spending for teachers' salaries
49th in spending on the environment
48th in per-capita funding for public health
47th in delivery of social services
42nd in child-support collections
41st in per-capita spending on public education
and
5th in percentage of population living in poverty
1st in air and water pollution
1st in percentage of poor working parents without insurance
1st in percentage of children without health insurance
1st in executions (averaging 1 every 2 weeks for Bush's 5 years)

Just think of what he could do for the country if he were president.
