Prohibition started on this day, January 16, in 1920.
It was a disaster.
Well intentioned people attacked personal freedom and created the conditions for criminals to restore it.
To day is also the birthday of the only guy ever to achieve the rank of Admiral Of The U.S. Navy, George Dewey. (This rank was superseded by the rank of fleet admiral in 1944.)
Do Freepers see the similarities between Dewey's thoughts on education and the thoughts of my friend John Murphy in the Australian freedom movement now?
Maybe you should post what these thoughts are.
Since they are central to your question and all.
“...see the similarities between Dewey’s thoughts
and the thoughts of my friend John Murphy?...”

Well, no, I don’t, since I do not see either one.
Truth.
Gentlemen.
you are correct in this criticism of my FR post. (” Maybe you should post what these thoughts are. Since they are central to your question and all.”)
But the original blog post does contain these two thoughts:
“Dewey’s personal motto was: “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
(This reminds me of wise words spoken by my friend, Freedom Fighter John Murphy, last Saturday in Melbourne: “Don’t ever stop asking questions. If you do, you’ve surrendered, without even knowing it.” )”
thank you.
