Freedom, like its close cousin, trust, once lost, is very difficult to regain. But freedom may be extended to one person at a time, much like trust, and slowly the network of supportive and reciprocated measures builds a new hegemony in the community.

The territory once known as “the United States of America” may have to balkanize into many separate communities, so this smaller circle may first rebuild the local unity, then the larger and larger unity be once again conjoined.

Interesting concept. Thanks.

Pray for me, as a school board director, I've begun to use biting words against common core and other matters in our local high school, and I'm about to challenge the superintendent herself .... I want her to define her purpose ... I already know what her job is

It seems to me she re-educates incoming new teachers to an agenda she desires, using the state laws to validate this aim and end, and I .. quite frankly think she's a commy embed and I want to start a fight.

Can't be more honest than that
