Reader comments about this quote:

Kinda funny, I like it -- Mike, Norwalk
Is this ths same guy as I.I. Lenin leader of the fledgling Soviet Union. He agrees with Mike and all of these right wing nuts about education. It doesn not matter it would appear to him whether the school is home, chruch, or public. If something like schooling is so bad why does every talk about it but does not do anything about and keeps on schooling their kids. The answer adults got nothing better to do that to bitch. -- Waffler, Smith
Good grief Waffler. Were you drunk when you wrote that nonsense? You must have attended a government school judging from your sentence structure, spelling etc. -- jim k, austin
Yup, typically radical right wing plan, keep the populated uneducated at any cost... serfdom forever! -- Anonymous, Reston, VA, US
The same with most Austrian philosophers (OK, nearly all philosophers) women don't come into the big picture. Mike and Archer I did continue our thread on the last post if you wish to go back and continue our conversation. Jim, don't judge a person on his grammar judge instead on intent. Yes, we only want the wealthy educated. -- RBESRQ
Isn't interesting that liberety.tree does not use the name Lenin when the quote is something that the right wing nuts will agree with. -- Anonymous
Yeah I was a bit groggy this AM. It happens! -- Anonymous
A from Reston & Waffler, the lefters (as per your dialog) and righters are working on dumbing down America. Both want their own version of dumb while the combination of the 2 has been an ultimate devastation to the freedom and liberty once established. -- Mike, Norwalk
Are Waffler and Anonymous one and the same blogger? Where Waffler appears to be been under the table, to say the least, Anonymous anwsers, "Yeah I was a bit groggy this AM. It happens!" after Jim K''s wondering about his sobriety. Hmmm -- just wondering ..., here and there
The liberals here want a "one shoe fits all" way of education. Better get themselves two left ones! -- cal, lewisville, tx
"right wing nuts about education..." Code for "Real Americans" who are tired of a corrupt system eh Waff? Now they're (DHS) calling war veterans and anyone who owns a gun a "right wing nut". Oh well, whoever has the most guns wins. -- J Carlton, Calgary
The quotation is fine, the commentary sucks, and some has been touched upon, but to suggest that to judge someone by their grammar is underhanded is only something an uneducated person would do. Indeed, judge a fool by his words and his inability to express himself, because he foolishly chose that path. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. -- rocketmi, Upland
"Is this ths same guy as I.I. Lenin leader of the fledgling Soviet Union?" No, Waffler, it is not Lenin. And yes, Waffler often posts as Anonymous for little quips. We usually update the posts with his name, but since it has been mentioned in this thread, we will leave it as is. -- Editor, Liberty Quotes
