School - Prison

[ryanmkeisling]

Much, if not all, of what we associate with compulsory public education, dating back to its roots between 1852–1918, including everything from multiple-choice tests to punch clocks to required courses to sitting in rows, was developed with the goals of removing habitual independent thinking from the citizenry. OWS is simply an example of what happens when a beast of burden gets a stone in the wrong place, but has no idea what do to about it.

The society has been dysfunctional for decades, run by unstable, sociopathic men. In fact you could say that people like Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. are psychopathic. Why is it any wonder when we are indoctrinated as youths and taught history as a timeline based entirely on WAR(s)?

Most people play the role that they have been assigned...young people especially.

Schools are propaganda producing institutions, they are good at what they do. The catch is if you don't get indoctrinated you usually end up frying chicken... sad but true... Im frying chicken tonight.

The government has engaged in several domestic wars. Of most significance as pertains to schools is the War on Drugs. The nature of schools and this war ensures that schools will be in the center of this war. I don't doubt there is a failure on the part of parents but their is absolutely ZERO FUCKING AUTHORITY on the part of the government or any citizen of the United States to hold them the least bit accountable for this bullshit.

If parents disciplined their children appropriately, there would be lots of congress critters getting spanked by their elderly parents. It is not going to happen until we get to the root of the problem. I hope you understand how shameful and immoral these wars are. The consequences are inevitable. It is so apparent that the only "reason" for the war on drugs is people addicted to the police state it engenders. They like the "jobs" program and their little statist minds can't grapple with "What do we do with millions of non-violent prisoners?". Like, why do anything at all?

Why is it that the Ron Paul Trillion Dollar deficit reduction program is not met with 'why we need the programs' but rather, "What will the poor overpayed DC employees do?".

The government doesn't care about the quality of our processed meats, only how many hands they can put on the process itself. As regards the educational process, they want it to produce crime and they have lots of jobs based on this.

Concerning adolescents and the War on Drugs, it's a triangle that needs to broken. Kids are given rules, kids want to break the rules (it's natural), the drug industry and war is fueled even more creating more rules for kids and SO ON. If drugs were legal and The War on Drugs didn't exist, then everything would be fine and dandy. But, they're not. Tackle the War on Drugs and gain the freedom back for your kids.
