Thank you for clarifying, that's what I thought you meant. PC paranoid.

:-)

Yes, AJ. Parinoid Conservatism. I meant that some/many conservatives have been silenced because of PC. It was a good plan that worked for the liberals. The idea emerged during the afirmative action heyday. It all worked to infiltrate the workforce with incompatance. So, AJ, I am with you. And I thank you fou your service. Best regards.....

we have lots of writers in here. here's a couple: overmanwarrior- you should check out his blog, and walter donway (who gave David Kelley his first introduction to Rand at a campus talk), eudaimonia-political satirist poet....

I used to call myself a conservative....but I don't anymore.

There is little paranoid about conservatism. As a staunch conservative, a veteran and a man who speaks his mind despite political correctness I see nothing wrong with seeking to preserve the essence of what our forefathers have created. Why should our children NOT work to achieve their dreams so they can fully enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as they see fit. Yes, a degree of protectionism is in order to salvage what we once had. This protectionism is not paranoid. In hindsight, its smart thinking, its recognizing that too many of us are willing to trade in our children's birthright for a modest steady check in our old age and discounted medications.

Wow. Congratulations for making it through all that with your kids. We all here generalized stories about our school systems in various states. But, you bring it to life with specific stories. It is upsetting just reading about it and I can only imagine how you felt.. You were a wonderful advocate and I hope other parents at the school appreciated what you did and join in to help you. You might think of reposting this educational side of your story under a new post. As often happens, the string developes in many different directions. Thanks for bring all this to the table.

American public schools are dumbing down students. It is the current end result of a failing system. And PC is definately a large part of the problem.

what else?

I haven't attended the Desert Nights Wiring Conference. I am the newsletter editor for the Arizona Authors Association and just learned of it through and advertisement in placed in this months newsletter. Now that I know, I may attend this year.

I write in coffee houses because I find it impossible to focus enough to write at home. As Hemmingway stated (paraphrased) all I need is "a clean well lit place"...I'll add a good cup of coffee, iced coffee, or iced tea (and maybe a bag of salted almonds). :)

I have no answer. those were likely day answers, so I seriously doubt wine unless they were written after cocktail hour begins. 4pm in my country...unless there is a power lunch

I was in here 3 months before I upgraded. you have all the annoying ads. what do yours say btw? lol
writing in coffee houses -you get an Ernest Hemingway quote
“The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war,” Ernest Hemingway wrote. “Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.”
Have you attended the Desert Nights Writing Conference? I went last year. Enjoyed it for the most part.

and I was shooting for annoyed... missed my mark.

agreed, and the states. I believe states are key in the "check" needing to happen immediately

well that was visual. yes, "Teachers For Obama"
oh-this is funny-someone posted on the eddie willers post(pirate's) and so I was reading all the comments again. I misspelled Dagny in every comment. I must have been permalinked

Now who sounds desperate? LOL (couldn't resist)

True. However the essence behind the processes was philosophy and a healthy distrust of a powerful centralized government. The three braches were created specifically to check any single department having too much power.

Nope, I actually had 50 or so made when I ran my commentary website. I still have 15. I'll gladly give you one if you're daring enough to take the risk. :)
