"Discipline must come through liberty...
We do not consider an individual disciplined
when he has been rendered as artificially silent as a mute
and as immovable as a paralytic.
He is an individual annihilated, not disciplined."
by:
Maria Montessori
(1870-1952) Italian physician and educator best known for the philosophy of education that bears her name, the Montessori method

Our politicians are rendering us silent and immovable. Vote for changes, like a Libertarian President.

    One will never reform socialism, it must be abolished !! So which politician is a true Patriot of Liberty ? They all, bow down to church and state socialism ! From Lincoln to the present time. A Robert E. Lee of the Patton type will do very well. Only this time with swing sets on ever lawn. Starting at the WH. Live Free or Die well.

    We sent our children to Montessori School for their first few years. What an excellent method of facilitating children's learning rather than making them obey like army recruits.

    In the U.S. there are 2 Montessori methods  the American Montessori and International Montessori; - I preferred the International method but, both are far superior to the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land's seminaries (public schools). The above quote is held self evident and absolutely accurate.

    Liberties or whatever are earned through trained discipline. We should not underestimate the human individual's ability and  determination to remove  themselves from their respective confinements.

    Sillik, I shake my lowered head. You make clear at socialism, liberty is not an inherent attribute and right. Socialism is antithetical to liberty. Please give a lawfully (nature's law) detailed description on how liberty can be earned. What training will discipline those that love personal responsibility, truth, prosperity, progression of the noble specie man, individual sovereignty, inalienable rights and liberty / freedom at nature's law.
