All Your Brain Are Belong To Us - big government "If you define life as hitting the interstate in a huge SUV at 7 a.m., cutting in front of as many other drivers as you can so that you can arrive at work early enough to one-up the guy whose job you want, then No Child Left Behind is for you. If you would rather develop a keener sense of what life can be when you care, when you learn broadly, and when you conserve, NCLB can be the bane of your existence."I am a firm believer in the notion that only the educated are free. So what's the quickest way to rule a people? Make and keep them stupid. That's what NCLB does, along with welfare, and all monopolistic/anti-capitilistic programs/businesses do (aka many government agencies and programs) Here is a good discussion on an article about why NCLB sucks. Do yourself, your family, and your country a favor and read it. Please.
"Young man, control in your hand
slam your fist on the table and make your demand
Take a stand
fan a fire for the flame of the youth
got the freedom to choose
you better make the right move
Young man, the power's in your hand
slam your fist on the table and make your demand
You gotta make the right move"
-Matisyahu (Youth)
Constitution Class with Michael Badnarik
If You Don't Know Your Rights, You Have No Rights. And if you don't stand up for your rights, you have no rights. No one is going to stand up for you, you must do it yourself.

The Libertarian Alternative - Healing Our World a brief show on libertarian economical ideas.
"Libertarians believe the answer to America's political problems is the same commitment to freedom that earned America its greatness: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom that marks this country above all others; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade as prescribed by America's founders."
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not. -Kurt Cobain I want something good to die for to make it beautiful to live -Queens of the Stone Age If I am killed I can die but once; but to live in constant dread of it, is to die over and over again. -Abraham Lincoln A thing moderately good is not as good as it should be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue, but moderation in principle is always a vice. -Thomas Paine One who seeks to heal the world must first heal himself. -Lao Tzu I [may] disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
