there's a big difference between teaching that something is true, and providing information about mainstream ideas (including criticism of them) to help children make their own decisions.

why is NSX2's comment (sibling of this comment) dead? does anyone else see anything wrong with it? (i'm not saying i agree with it, just i don't see any reason it should be killed)

I don't know early American philosophers very well offhand. But wikipedia says Jefferson sympathized with the French. The dates are around the time of the French Revolution. So, my guess is I dislike him. The French Revolution was really aw

But I don't think libertarian is the wrong label (no worse than others). if "classical liberal" makes you think it is, maybe that is the wrong label?

libertarians are mostly very pro-free-market, and pro-small-government, as am I. I like Rand and Hayek. I can communicate these things better with the word 'libertarian' than with the word 'liberal' which few people understand in the way I'

Please don't hold all libertarians accountable for Lew Rockwell. Some of us are "classical liberals" in the style of the Enlightenment. The libertarian movement is far from a perfect fit, but it's closer than the other parties.

mac programs avoid using right-click context menus as a primary interface approach. so what do you need it for? for gaming you need to plug in a mouse anyway. otherwise occasional ctrl-clicking isn't hard, nor is the 2 finger thing.
