We hold this truth to be self evident.

MLK hit the mail on the head with this one. Bill Cosby says the same thing and is vilified by his own people. The Democrats have destroyed the nuclear black family for their own political gain. When will the oppressed throw off the shackles of Liberal oppression and declare: Free at Last, Free at Last, Free at Last???

Except when they are uneducated and can not read or write. Thank got for compulsory education so that most or at least many parents in America can read and write and thus want the same thing for their children.

Never forget that parents have the responsibility for taking care of their children, not government bureaucrats -- heck, some of the stupidest people in the world are civil servants. Due to Waffler's government schooling, he is able to read and almost write, but he confuses what he has been taught with intelligence.

I was schooled by my parents and neighbors as I have also schooled my neighbors children. I know of no government schools in America, only neighbor schools run by parents and teachers. A man is never so big as when he stoops to help a child even if that child is not his, thus neighbors and teachers that help children of uneducated parents will get a star in their crown.
 -- Waffler, Smith, Arkansas
 
Children who know only their mothers and fathers generally wind up to be idiots. Most reasonable people understand that children need others in their ever expanding lives. That is what field trips and indroduction to others of various trades and backgrounds is all about. Come on guys get off your narrow minded approaches to every thing.
 -- Waffler, Smith, Arkansas
 
Waff, where on earth did you get the idea that home schooled kids know only their mothers and fathers. Have you ever heard of kids playing with the neighbors kids? Maybe that's a novel idea to you.
