At your age I am sure there is no problem.

However, I think our kids are being taught that a "little bit" of socialism is a good thing.

We need to disabuse them of that idea too.

The only way we are going to do that is to take our language back.

Thank you for asking the question.

Welp, I came back to clarify my post (the word 'union' needn't be italicized, though it might make a pun), and you did it for me.

Agree-eeed. How about teaching people how to think (which is closely related to respecting the language)? Think about, for example, why communism was the 'ism' of choice in a self-proclaimed 'socialist' state. Why atheism was the state religion there. And why generations were miserable there. And why tens (hundreds?) of millions were murdered by the state there for the crime of thinking for themselves. And why free enterprise didn't flourish there when ostensibly given the opportunity (hint: free enterprise requires a moral foundation -- true liberty -- in order to function at its best and benefit a people).

Yes but kids are naturally drawn to libertarianism, which was the intent of the Founding Fathers (don't let OWK know I said that). The Founders did not intend anarchism but state control of laws rather than a federal model.
