Selig:<br/>1. Bureaurats like Toddo are now elevated to Super Nanny status because only they can divine what is needed, and not, to run &quot;our towns&quot;<br/>2. Bureaurats like Toddo need high-falutin&#39; education, and the parchment to document such lofty degrees of edification because the orchestrating of serf activities in our little beehives is oh so very complex, and little ol&#39; me could never figure it out  ... oh ya, and it also helps to restrict trade and competition for same so Toddo can get himself a big, fat salary.<br/>3. We could never survive, let alone thrive, without the oppressive weight of Nanny&#39;s BFA squashing our free will and pigeonholing us into our proper places.<br/>4.

I personally know several home schooled people who did very well for themselves.  Some are well paid professionals with college degrees who believe the creationism.<br/><br/>14 of our US presidents including Mr New Deal himself FDR were homeschooled.<br/><br/>Several famous scientists including Albert Einstein were all homeschooled.<br/><br/>Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Graham Bell... all homeschooled.<br/><br/>Famous writers such as Mark Twain, Robert Frost, L Ron Hubbard, C.S. Lewis and William F Buckley were all homeschooled<br/><br/>Whoopi Goldberg, Louis Armstrong, the Jonas Brothers, John Travolta, Will Smith... all homeschooled.<br/><br/>Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy&#39;s was homeschooled.<br/><br/>Andrew Carnegie also homeschooled.<br/><br/>And as for religious beliefs, I think Einstein said it best:<br/>&quot;Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.&quot;<br/><br/>Forcing your view of schooling on people does not ensure success, I can point to the countless masses standing everyday in welfare lines after attending our public schools as examples.  The only thing you do by forcing your education ideal on everyone is to deny choice and create slaves. <br/><br/>When you can no longer choose what is best for yourself or your children and someone else makes that choice for you, you are their slave.]]></description></item><item><title>C. dog comments on Carol Shea-Porter - Save Our Schools</title><author>C. dog</author><pubDate>Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:10:47 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.nhinsider.com/nhigb/2012/2/3/carol-shea-porter-save-our-schools.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">13961:612487:comment/16831476</guid><description><![CDATA[Trolling for dollars –<br/>First, want and mandate are two very, very different things.  I can want many things, but when I make others provide those things, well, what would you call that?  In my simple lexicon, that is most assuredly slavery, regardless of the fit of my cap.  I want my Maypo, therefore, I will make you go to the fields to harvest them oats.<br/><br/>Then there&#39;s work.  Actually, what oozes out of most higher-learning institutions more resembles the grease you freed from their traps than any person with useful skill.  People who can fix and make things are substantially more substantial than those who talk and write about it, or far worse, generate copious reams of pulp regulation that effectively enslaves those who actually do something real.<br/><br/>Which leads us to education.  Given that you and your ilk have created the current government manifestation of what passes for education, why would anyone want to perpetuate this fraud?  Let people send their kids to those &quot;rich&quot; kid schools by allowing them to use their funds for such laudatory purposes.  Think of the only benefit that matters to you: the chil&#39;ren get a better education so they can feed, bath, cloth, and shelter you from the real world as you enter your &quot;golden&quot; years.<br/>– C. dog]]></description></item><item><title>Troll comments on Carol Shea-Porter - Save Our Schools</title><author>Troll</author><pubDate>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:53:52 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.nhinsider.com/nhigb/2012/2/3/carol-shea-porter-save-our-schools.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">13961:612487:comment/16828342</guid><description><![CDATA[&quot;it appears as thought [sic] you have put Mr. Troll&#39;s little troll panties in a bunch&quot;<br/><br/>LOL!

Because I want people to be educated so they can get better jobs, I espouse slavery?  I think your tri-cornered hat&#39;s a little too tight, my friend, because I don&#39;t see the correlation.  My assertion is if we get more people educated and trained with useful skills, that will be an advantage for ALL of us.  It has been shown many times that an educated and well trained work force raises the standard of living for everyone, including those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder.  What&#39;s so awful about that?<br/><br/>You seem to suggest that I look down on people with menial jobs and I can assure you that is not the case.  I&#39;ve been there myself.  I&#39;ve done janitorial work, factory work and I even had a job cleaning grease traps at restaurants (talk about gross).  You do what you need to do to pay the bills.  There&#39;s no shame in that.  However, most people aspire to move beyond that type of work.  What allowed me to move on from those jobs was aquiring a skill.  It seems to me the people who want to deny others this opportunity are the true enslavers, not the ones that want to return the boon they have been given.<br/><br/>I guess I don&#39;t really understand your position as well as I thought I did.  Please explain to me how keeping people ignorant and skill-less is beneficial to any of us other than those that subscribe to the &quot;I have me and mine, F*** you and yours&quot; creed.  Are you saying it&#39;s a right to remain stupid?  That seems like an odd position to take but I don&#39;t understand many things so please enlighten me.]]></description></item><item><title>C. dog comments on Carol Shea-Porter - Save Our Schools</title><author>C. dog</author><pubDate>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:23:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.nhinsider.com/nhigb/2012/2/3/carol-shea-porter-save-our-schools.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">13961:612487:comment/16826045</guid><description><![CDATA[Poor, poor Troll –<br/>At least you have the honesty to insinuate that you support the enslavement of your loathed underclass so that they may serve you a better tastin&#39; Big Mac in your dotage.
