I just read a distressing article at wnd.com about Swedish authorities storming an airplane commando style to take Dominic Johansson from his parents. The reason? Apparently because he was homeschooled! Here is a quote from the article: Annie and Dominic Johansson “‘Any nation that severely restricts the ability of parents to choose alternative forms of…

Germany Heads Towards Tyranny
From HSLDA.org: “’This poor, simple family is being crushed by unbearable pressure from the German state’s police power, primarily because they are homeschoolers,†Donnelly said. “This father of nine, a woodworker, told me how difficult this is and the incredible strain it’s placing on his children, his wife and himself. As longtime homeschoolers, they have…
Will We Back Them?
I just heard a news report that President Bush has “demanded” that Russia ceases it’s attack against Georgia, a sovereign democracy. But will we back that demand? My understanding is that Georgia has reformed their government, attracted international investment, been a loyal U.S. ally in Iraq (fighting along side of us!), aspired to join NATO,…

I am also in the midst of a discussion on this very blog. One commenter suggested that we be very careful about wanting to make our…
Government or Individual?
Comment and Question from Casper: “equal distribution of wealth†is not part of the Liberal point of view – or part of the humanist point of view. It is a part of the Communist worldview that you’re expecting to see in us when you look through your Rove-colored glasses, but it’s just not there in…

Well, the original conversation on Ray Comfort’s Blog spilled over to the Digg site for further thoughts. I posted this response to someone called “The Butter Stick.” Butterstick was asserting the alleged success of communes around the world, especially in Norway (which butterstick referred to as paradise). Here is my response to Butterstick that I…
