Just think how the country would be if we closed the public schools, and the IRS, in favor of private schools and The Fair Tax!

Like nectar from the sweetest flower! Words of wisdom. A long as we are cool with me still teaching my kids. I prefer homeschooling over the best private schools.

In my day (graduated in 98') boys would talk about their last hunting trip in class and the teacher would ask them if they used the same rifle they did last year when he went with him and his dad. Then the teacher would tell the guy to tell his dad to call him if he wanted a hunting buddy. Then we would get on with history/english class. No one died and the slackers in the class appreciated the extra few minutes to get their homework done. When did we turn into a nation of wall flower, fainting, little girls?!
