The video is too long for youtube, so I have to go old-school.
I'm not editing the mans' words. If I had compression capability, I could probably fix it, but it's 4 minutes over the youtube limit of 10.

So, here is a link to the video. Clicking this will open Windows Media Player and the video will start.

Well, I'm back from vacation. Mrs. Cargosquid and the Squidette are home safe and the wife is feeling much better. Long story short, we travelled the southeast and much fun was had.

But that's not the reason for my post. I found this quote. Tell me if it sounds familiar.

"Respect for religion must be reestablished. Public debt should be reduced. The arrogance of public officials must be curtailed. Assistance to foreign lands must be stopped or we shall bankrupt ourselves. The people should be forced to work and not depend on government for subsistence.” - Cicero, 60 B.C.

Must'a been a conservative......

Interesting Reading

"The terrorists are running this war exactly as the anarchists of the 19th century. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is anything new. It is NOT new, and a study of the anarchists of the 19th century will make what the terrorists are doing quite clear, and explain the sheer brilliance of President Bush’s response. "

The author of the quote is known as Mrs. Du Toit. This quote was part of an essay explaining how the study of history is a solution to some problems described on her husband's website. He was describing the situation in Great Britain. It seems that schools over there may stop teaching about the Holocaust since that teaching contradicts what some Muslim children are learning at home. The schools are afraid of being offensive. (I've learned to watch what happens in England if one wishes to see the future of a Democratic Party world. PC/multiculturalism, gun control, and nannystatism run amok.)

"Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Governmentbacked study has revealed.
It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial."

And,

"There is also resistance to tackling the 11th century Crusades - where Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem - because lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques."

This may be a roundabout way of introducing her, but I wanted to put this essay into context. It is an answer to a question in the comments of the above essay concerning England. (Be aware that her answer is long and detailed but interesting.)
Mrs. Du Toit, along with her essay writing also home schools her children. She discusses education issues at length on her blog. Her husband's site covers a variety of interests, but the emphasis is on a free society and 2nd Amendment rights.
