assistant: It's simply incredible what John Sampson said to Gaylen Hintz
  Yes John? :)
  hahahahahaha, just couldn't stand to break up the above paragraph,
my goodness but you do have a way with words and methinks you've
pretty well nailed it! :)
  hehehehehe, it would appear but you know in all seriousness this
is almost frightening. I've had my own youngster come home all
pumped full of some of these "feel good" ideals that the school
tends to teach instead of concentrating on the skills that will
enable the kids to actually be able to read and write in a coherent
and rational fashion.  With 12 years of secondary education firmly
in controll of those socialists and the colleges loaded with
liberalism, is it any wonder that it begins to look more like
propaganda than education? :)
  Sure seem that way to me too but like always on this echo, they
come in... have a brief and bright fire before the squad douses
their little fire with the water of wisdom and they usually fade
less than gracefully from here. :)  Sheeshe... waxing poetic

heard, thought I do not agree with all, has had some kernel of truth.  As a
listener of Rush, I have still to see what your point is.  Are you trying to
cause trouble here, since you are not allowed on any newsgroups anymore?  Or
perhaps you cannot get a connection to the net anymore because of your
continual childish and very boorish prattlings?  And before you try to
attribute what I say to belonging to Rush, I am older than he, have been a
conservative longer than he is old, and probably know more than you will ever

Interesting.  As you know, I'm a country boy myself.  I too credit the
lessons learned from working on a farm, growing crops, working with
animals and caring for them, and the things learned in FFA, for years
later helping me to see the fallacies in the idea of evolution.  Obvious
flaws just kept cropping up until I couldn't ignore them any longer.
Having always had a keen interest in virtually all areas of scientific
inquiry, I know what true science is, and it became inescapable that
evolution isn't science at all, but rather a form of secular religion.
