Welcome, JJ, to the fruits of 100+ years of the “Germanic System of Education”.

If you give me a time machine, and the power to go back and kill one person in the cradle, Horace Mann would be very, very high on my list.

Come the revolution, one thing that ought to be a part of the new Constitution:

No public education organization above the county level. Bring back the “Little Red Schoolhouse”, if you like.

This would do wonders for the concentrated clusterf*** which is modern education.

Two other unrelated suggestions:
1) Government at all level MUST use GAAP — Generally Accepted Accounting Practices. Stop the funny-money BS that enables half the chicanery.

2) Term limits plus separation of branches. The latter was generally understood but not usually codified, but anyone who has a job function in the executive branch at the same time as they have a job function under the legislative branch — or any variant thereof — should not be allowed. Career politicians, as well as “branch-crossing bureaucrats” should not be allowed.

Here’s sumpin better:

Obama flouts rule of law pretty much at will, on top of that.

The key factor that makes a constitution work is the culture. Constitutions don’t enforce themselves. The question is to what extent Americans will demand rule of law.

I think one key factor with respect to illegals is that they are from cultures that don’t have rule of law. Hence banana republics. That is a big part why politicians like them. they accept big government solutions and even demand them, but ignore violations of rule of law. They are the population the power hungry leadership wants.

Spock!!!!

IIRC, The Protestant chicks wore BLACK bonnets, the Catholic chicks wore RED bonnets… Nat Geo had a color spread ninety-years ago showing the gals in their traditional dress going off to Easter services. At the time, color plates were quite new.

The colors of the bonnets were identical to the modern German flag.

I’m not sure what the yellow — the bottom stripe — signifies on the German flag, though it would appear that the Protestants came out on top. (Black over Red)

This symbology appears to have been picked up by the Nazis/ Blacks vs the Communists/ Reds.

Perhaps one of neo’s posters knows more….

What bothers me most is that America is no longer what it once was. And the big eared skinny guy in D.C. pushing us all around? My daughter could whip his ass.

We learn friends through family. And yet, even if family is taken away, the principle remains for the victim to have a choice. Still, against the removal of the biological education, the principle remains and seeks completion. The power of the universe, created through the power of love, expresses itself in ways unlooked for and unkownn. Perhaps the power of evil is nothing more than the raking and watering of soil.
