History teacher. Thanks.


That explains a good bit about your grasp on history.

Not trying to be combative, but if that's a publicly paid teaching position, wouldn't that be a bit of a contradiction in your otherwise accurate indictment of the growth and power of government on all levels? If private, then well done.
I work within the system, but favor the elimination of it on principle. No different than holding a bank account while opposing the institution of banking. You have to live in the real world as it exists even if you advocate for its change.


k. You only have to convince you, I guess. Your points on the fall of this empire and the growth of the .gov are made well. Unfortunately, they ring much more hollow now as you're voluntarily paid by the thing you advocate against.
