Great. Now, why aren't you doing it?

Great, it is much worse than I thought. Ed has found a way to know
exactly what I do. Is that from a government database or some
commercial one?
?? Are you going to deliver a speech to the nation's school kids about
working hard and being responsible? That's what you're responding to. You
said it was "one of your powers."

Ed Huntress

I was responding to the Federal government teaching about working hard
and being responsible. I am saying that teaching moral values to my
kids is one of my powers. And that delivering a speech about working
hard and being responsible is usurping my ability to teach moral
values to my children. I think it is the parents responsibility to
teach moral values to their kids. I do not think teaching moral
values is some thing delegated to the Federal government by the
Constitution. Teaching moral values comes extremely close to teaching
religion. Again not something I want the Federal government teaching.

Working hard is not something I value. Working intelligently is not
the same thing. I would rather have my children question how thing are
done and find better ways, than to value working hard. Hard work is
greatly overrated.

I assume you had the same concerns when Ronnie Ray gun and George the
first did this same thing. Please post a link to your objections then.

I heard today on the radio that if telling school kids to stay in
school, stay off drugs and succeed is socialism, than almost all parents
are socialists. I think it was E.J.Dionne who said it...
