FFQF: Public "Education"

"A Bible and a newspaper in every house, a good school in every district--all studied and appreciated as they merit--are the principal support of virtue, morality, and civil liberty." Benjamin Franklin

"By removing the Bible from schools we would be wasting so much time and money in punishing criminals and so little pains to prevent crime. Take the Bible out of our schools and there would be an explosion in crime." Benjamin Rush

I have been accused by some of being "against" public schooling. On the contrary, I believe public schooling to be a beneficient institution, when instituted correctly and justly. But our current public education system is neither correct nor just; it is a corrupt indoctrination camp for the social engineering of the masses. The government runs the schools to rear little robots agreeable to this system of tyranny that the government has created. That, as well as the hostility toward Christianity and the blantant acceptance of the secular humanist religion taught in the schools, gives me reason to stand fully and confidentally against the American public education system.

I remain completely baffled at Christian parents who, seemingly blind to the natureof this schooling system, continue to send their children to these camps. Some are completely arrogant in their "decision," warning other Christians not to "judge" them nor criticize them with facts. And it is not merely Christians that I criticize: I would think that any loving parent would thoroughly investigate the philosophy and policy of these government-run schools before sending little Susie out on the school bus. But I would especially expect this of Christians. Sadly, this is not so.

I attribute this stupor to the fact that most of these parents were probably reared by the government in said government schools, and therefore, they naively believe that sending out the next generation to the same institution is harmless. But parents-- the public school of your youth has radically changed. It would do your children well if you peered a little into the philosophies of the schools. Such a course would take a little more time than skimming, say, magazine-style diet pill reviews; one such book I can recommend is Marlin Maddoux' America Betrayed. It's an older book, written in the 1980s when the exposes first started rolling. It's an eye-opener. Or you can do an Internet search on John Dewey, the father of our modern education system, or look up the very enlightening articles and books written by Dr. Samuel L. Blumenfeld. Or you can simply open up your children's textbooks and start reading. There's some disgusting lies, propaganda, and smut being pushed on kids today.

Many of America's founding fathers were homeschooled, merely because their region lacked a formal school district at that time, or Indian raids and wars made travel difficult. They were not against public schooling, per se; but if they knew of the indoctrination and of the barring of the Bible and prayer in schools, without a doubt they'd spell out our nation's demise in a moment. And this is no doubt what we are witnessing today.

Good Gracious, All These Accidents

Accidents and "human error" abound these days. Oopsie!

Swine Flu May Be Human Error
"May" be? Human "error"? Yeah, rrrrright! Get better information about it here.

One-fourth of overseas votes go uncounted

WASHINGTON (AP) - One out of every four ballots requested by military personnel and other Americans living overseas for the 2008 election may have gone uncounted, according to findings being released at a Senate hearing Wednesday. ... there is a chronic problem of military voters being sent a ballot without sufficient time to complete it and send it back. He cited estimates that a ballot can take up to 13 days to reach an overseas voter.

Oopsie! Most military persons tend to vote Conservative, by the way. Gosh darn it, we'll just have to DO something about all this human error.

Buffalo Plane Crash Linked to Pilots Fatigue

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board's inquiry in Washington focused its attention on pilot fatigue as a possible contributing factor to the crash of Continental Airlines Flight 3407, which killed all 49 people aboard and one person on the ground.

Co-pilot Rebecca Shaw, 24, was working out of Newark Liberty International Airport and had complained about having a cold on the day of the Feb. 12 crash.

The night before the crash, she flew overnight as a passenger from Seattle, investigators told the hearing. The trip required her to change planes in Memphis en route to Newark.

Uh huh. Well, what about the PILOT of the plane, an experienced pilot who was making three times more than the co-pilot (which of COURSE means that he was not fatigued nor inexperienced)?

Renslow reportedly had little hands-on experience with a stick-pusher — a critical component in a system used in emergencies. It automatically kicks in when a plane is about to stall, pointing the aircraft's nose down into a dive so it can pick up enough speed to allow the pilot to guide it to a recovery.

According to flight data records recovered from the crash, the captain put the stick-pusher in the wrong position when the plane began to nose dive. Renslow pulled back on the plane's control column, apparently trying to bring the aircraft out of the sudden dive by raising the nose up. Pushing forward to gain speed is the proper procedure.

Pardon me, but as unfamiliar with a stick-pusher as Renslow may have been, as an experienced pilot with at least some hands-on experience, it's pretty obvious that he would know which direction to move the stick. I mean, I've never even been in a cockpit, but even I've seen those old Sky King shows.

The entire crash is suspicious, and should be treated as such. Not to mention that another 9/11 relative has been killed. Oopsie. These 9/11 folks have SUCH terrible luck.
