Not just ideas, but facts. That is one reason government schools are so narrow in their ideological and theocratic instruction. In the marketplace of Ideas, concepts, and a reality thereof (such as law and freedom), no provision, availability or presentation is provided - or allowed in the occupying statist theocracy now infesting this land's forum(s), in its schools, in its media, etc. -- Mike, Norwalk
