What a bunch of communist claptrap. Things are much better in Vietnam
since the communists took over, just ask Kerry.

When did you first start hating Jefferson? Seems to me that *real*
Americans would admire him. Will you be burning Franklin's books next week?

A tv reporter read the US Constitution to random people in the streets a
few years back. Most of them thought it was subversive crap. Your
education system seems to be in a shambles. Not knowing your own history
is unforgiveable.

Want another one, Mike? My wife, a high school teacher, seeing something
similar on television, read portions of the Constitution to some senior
class students a few years ago. Eighteen of those seniors could not give the
general period it was written, with eight out of the forty seniors answering
it was written in the late 1960's. Those darn hippies.

The results of the questions relating to the content was even more
depressing.

By the way, in spite of the abundance of press to the contrary, the
teachers are not at fault here. They're locked into a curriculum set by the
school boards and others - a curriculum which simply doesn't include much
U.S. History today. In fact, much of the core material is getting
short-changed today to make room for other, highly questionable in my
opinion, stuff.

The last thing the corporations want is for the population to know
what the founding principles of this country are.

This country was started to provide a place where government and
commerce served the people. Not the other way around.

DAVID- You have it slighly distorted:

This country was started to provide a place where government
served the people. (For the People, By the People, Of the People)

This country was started to provide a place where the people
could participate in commerce freely. (Without unnecessary or
excessive government interference; be it regulation or taxes.)

"Is it not absurd that the degree of John Kerry's bravery in Vietnam should be
a subject of debate,
while during that war his opponent courageously volunteered to defend Texas
against a sneak attack from Oklahoma?"

So...tell me again...just exactly how long has it been since that horse
kicked you in the head? How did you explain the pants around your ankles
when the medics revived you?

Never been kicked in the head, by a horse, or anything else.

Meanwhile, your head is still up your ass. How do you explain it?
