“[State controlled] education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” – Joseph Stalin

"[I]f you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever.  But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with."

--Ronald Reagan

“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924)

 

Embarrassing situation for Al Gore; you know, the whole global warming thing. Turns out his Tennessee home is using 20 times the energy of the average household. But to be fair, it’s still not as much energy as John Edwards’ blow dryer is using. – Jay Leno
 

Child Abuse, Global Hot Air, Respect For Parents, and Health Care        By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

1.  Child Abuse - Last week, I wrote that we are headed toward a force-based society in which people will live in fear that their neighbors will turn them in for eating the wrong foods, failing to sort their garbage properly, or smoking near their children.  I am sure most people who read the article thought the prediction was ridiculous, but later that same week, as I was driving toward downtown Louisville, I saw a large billboard that said:  “Second Hand Smoke – Child Abuse”.  (I wonder if my taxes were used to pay for that!)

Cutting the cord on government-subsidized insurance subsidies for employers

President Bush has it right on health care. In his recent “State of the Union,” he made the point as clear as possible.

“A government-run health care system is the wrong prescription,” Bush told Congress.

How would Bush go about securing expanded private health-insurance coverage without further government mandates and other meddling? By allowing individuals to deduct health-insurance premiums – just like employers do. That means employees would find themselves on equal footing with their employers when seeking health insurance.          (click to read more)

Shining a light on lawmaking in the dark

Sometimes it takes a few years for an idea to catch on.

Likewise, it sometimes takes a few years for a bad idea to get exposed. Thankfully, a very bad idea wafting out of the General Assembly got stopped dead in its tracks by Kentucky’s two largest newspapers. The bill’s sponsor, sensing his own blood in the water, wisely withdrew the bill before more sharks came to the party.         (click to read more)
