Constitutional Thoughts To Ponder

[tt11758]

I was going to say to heck with this thread, but I have to comment that FQ raises some good points.
Considering that the vast majority of members on this forum are products of the evil public school system I'd have to say the indoctrination bit hasn't worked out to well except for those who are really to lazy to research or think for themselves.
We used to have the classes FQ, talks about, Civics, and History. Logic is like common sense though, not so common.
Rhetoric ? basically the art of forming a coherent argument ? In today's political atmosphere that is the last thing politicians want people to do, otherwise we might expect them to know what's in a bill BEFORE they pass it, not the other way around.

Runstowin, what you fail to take into account is that the "public schools", just like the government is (or at least is supposed to be) "we the people".  If you don't like the way they're educating your children, spending your money, etc, don't just sit by and bitch, go get involved and DO something about it.  I have to agree with TB....if you aren't part of the solution you're part of the problem.
