In the battle between freedom and bondage, the forces of freedom have lost. A century of wall-to-wall collectivist propaganda in the government youth camps ("public schools") has finally done its job.
In the past, for a hundred thousand years and into the beginning of this century, it was well understood that the education of boys past the age of 12 was best undertaken by older men, who would take the lads out into the woods and fields and teach them the courage, the cooperation, the concentration and the skills necessary to become hunters, warriors, craftsmen, artisans, and fathers.
It is no coincidence that today most of our high school valedictorians are little girls. I bear no grudge against the ladies gaining access to college and career, but what has happened in recent decades is that our mommified socialist welfare camps now treat male adolesence as a de facto disease, dosing up nearly half of those suffering this newly diagnosed "testosterone poisoning" with various mind-numbing nostrums, from Ritalin to Luvox to Prozac, primarily to get them to sit still and stop causing trouble, though each of these is acknowledged by its manufacturer to cause dementia, mania, and/or hallucinated voices in a statistically significant percentage of users.
Particularly interested by this section - anyone got any thoughts on it?

Leftists are afraid of plain old-fashioned real men. Frankly, I think they have much to fear.

quote:
"Shopper Lorinda Smith, who was in the candy aisle during the confrontation, said Tuesday that she was more frightened by Suter's gun then the man's knife.
" "That scared the c--- out of me, that someone could have a gun in the store," said Smith of Hernando Beach. 'This one lady was in there with her children and when she saw (the gun) she was like, "Get on the ground! Get on the ground!" If I was there with my kids, I would have had a heart attack.' "
Poor little sheep getting scared by reality. How sad.

That is probably one of the best essays about gun control, or liberty in general, that I have ever read.
Thank you very much for posting this.

What a truth!
Just look at the latest lingo-"its a testosterone thing". And your problem with that is?????
They have finally learned to butcher the common language to where nothing means what they say. It's all euphenisms for bovine scatterings.
A manager asked us all recently what we could do to improve our meetings-I said "speak english." A paradigm sounds like a 1950's sedan with portholes and a long chrome sweep spear on the side.
IMO, this all started happening when words became camouflage for what you're really up to. All the silver tongued gum flapping in the world does not hide the truth, and never will when you call them on it as the writer has so clearly done.

Most excellent read! Just finished printing it off, all 12 pages. This is exactly what I've tried to post about, a right is a right, is a right is a right! A right is not a privilege! Either we begin to stand up to this tyranny or you're gonna lose what few rights you've got left! :banghead: When are the sovereign people finally going to wake up and see what they have allowed their servant (the government) to do to them? The cute little monkey called government has now become King Kong and there ain't enough banannas left in this country to keep him fed! I know my rights, I declare my rights, I exercise my rights and I damn well will defend my rights! :banghead:

Yeah, ya gotta love Vin's writings and rantings. He's usually (OK, so far that I'm aware, always) spot on.
Went to UNLV's graduation ceremony this past spring... Education Dept had, I'd guesstimate, 75-80% females getting their sheepskins. Different than the days when I went to jr. high and high school when a majority of the teachers (at least half) were male, older vets from WWII/Korea.
Definitely teachers who brooked no shinola, called you "Mr." Baba Louie and could actually teach based not just on textbook, liberal, left leaning, feel good about yourself, ivory towered philosphies; but men who had BTDT.
Personal responsibility? Gone.
Entitlements? Gimme.
Safety vs. loss of rights? We all heard the gov't after 9-11.
I've only got the rights I'll defend. I'm glad that little grandma had the right mindset.
America... the dream is worth saving.

I have Personaly seen First had what goes on in Establishments of Higher education over here in the UK, and 90% is so dumbfounding that it boarders on "should be in the fiction/hooror section.
I have spent 4 years of my time and hard work doing everything possable to achive the qualifications that I had chosen to earn.
and I have "Wasted" 3 years of that time as the current system does everything possible to prevent many from obtaining what they have earned.
and if you dare to complain, you might as well withdraw from the course, otherwise they can and most likely will make the rest of the course a living nightmare.
Here are a few examples.
In the first 2 years of college I had one rather odd female teacher who made it very well known that she had a extreme hatred of Men, and to back it up only 3 guys ever passed any of her classes in 2 years time.
(and strangely only Feemales got awards in that subject)
the final 2 years of college, my class and mysellf complained nearly endlessly about mainly the technicians never doing anything when it was required.
(namely flatt out refusing to install software or hardware required for the particular class etc..)
then as a reward for our relentlessness in trying to get things moving forward rather than being at a standstill, and actualy succeding a little, they went and canceled the next year of the course and decided that everyone had to swap over to a much diffrent course.
It didn't sound to bad at first, but then they dropped the elephant on us, we had 12 weeks to do another 12 months worth of Required Learning and Exams in order to contenue.
needless to say, very few of us got more than 3 hours of sleep for each of those 12 weeks...
(surprisingly evryone managed to pass)
in the last summester however, they decided to add heavy financial requirements by outright refusing to allow us access to the software required to finish, in the end we all had to buy laptops to have the slightest hope of passing, Only 3-4 passed this year,
out of a total of "25" trustworthy dedicated mature students.
(none were under 20, some were 40-50+)
In short, in much of the UK, paying students are treated as something lower than excrement, everyone who was in my class was completly desgusted with how paying students are generaly treated.:flame:
quick illistration:
Imagine a Grown educated Adult in MIT getting treated like a Kindergardener....
now, I could go on for Hours on stuff like this, but I don't want to.
and quite frankly i'm to tired to bother right now :p
and as for proof, I have none, except my own memory.
