The “Climate change conference” in Copenhagen begins today. In a couple of weeks, the Won will glibly sign on to whatever asinine bullshit they cobble together. And then we’ll be saddled with a bunch of crap designed to destroy the ability of businesses to do business. That, combined with the utter ignorance attached to the idea that somehow, America “needs” a nationalized healthcare system, and the epic level wrongheadedness of the “Jobs Summit” is about tocause the country to crash.
I’m about to go in debt up to my ass to educate my child because I don’t need her to attend a socialist indoctrination camp public school.
I can just barely wait. I’ll get by, will you?

I bought a half-dozen colanders. I’m planning on going into the Lord Of The Wasteland business.
Sweet. Hey, you wanta go deer hunting one day this weekend?
If the private school of which you speak is Catholic, wouldn’t the correct comparison be, an Atheist socialist indoctrination camp to a Christian socialist indoctrination camp where the Oglet will at least learn something besides socialism and political correctness?
In defense of Catholic schools, if I had kids, I’d seriously consider paying to send my kids to one rather than settling for the “free” public school option.
That is based on my limited experience of attending a very good Catholic high school for two years.
The socialization aspects aside, have you thought about homeschooling? There are a couple of “packages” on the market which not only provide a wealth of learning materials (and a great curriculum), but allow for interaction between students and “on-line professors/teachers and other students. And though not “cheap”, has to be less expensive than what even a Catholic High School is charging for tuition these days.
Be happy to send a link to one if you are interested.
Guy S: “Socialization” isn’t an issue for homeschoolers if they’re in a co-op or other social groups (such as team sports). In fact, they’re often better socialized under those conditions because they’re exposed to varied age groups instead of being corralled by cohort eight hours a day.
Of course, it can also backfire if you live in the sticks and the parent in charge of the endeavor doesn’t like to go places. *cough*experience speaking*cough*

Quiet, you. Public school officials need their boogeymen to keep the headcount, thus funding, up. Next thing you know you’ll be speaking of how public schools are little more than minimum security daycare for feral youth.
About the only climate that is changing is that of the government, which is slipping past unresponsive and on to hostile.
I’m trying on face colanders this week. Hey, I’m flexible. I can do the cardboard box thing, and it takes only a few weeks for me to grow a hobo beard.
I can’t understand why you wouldn’t want your kid exposed to this:

And I do mean EXPOSED.
Progressives told us that elections have consequences. They were right.
On the homeschooling thing, I can’t IMAGINE the sort of depression that would have resulted from being shut up for 6 or 8 hours a day with ether of my folks. Just fuckin’ shoot me. Private school? Maybe a good Jewish one. They’ll put God in the correct perspective and teach your kid all he/she/it needs to know about the “religion of peace”. Maybe the kid’ll grow up to join the IDF. Man, they say your kid is basically who they are by the time they get to school. Just teach ’em to see the bullshit for what it is and they’ll be ok.
Homeschooling doesn’t go for six or eight hours a day. You see, schools have to teach to the lowest common denominator. In other words, teachers can only go as fast as the slowest student. So unless you’re young’un is that student, a school day needn’t be more than three or four hours at the most. After that those of age (it’s still 14 for part time most places) can go to work and earn their own money and learn what responsibility is.
You’re, your, yor…damn. I even proofread.
Homeschooling is not an option for us. Firsat of all, it requires that one parent be available (That is, have no job!) and that’s not the case. PLus, the investment- to do it right- is incredible. I know peoploe who have done it, and they basically had to put their lives on hold while they did. Their kids are wonderful, and they will never regret what they have done, I’m sure, but frankly, we’d rather spend the money and have professionals that we trust do the job.
We knocked down two Plain’s Mule Deer this past Saturday. I pulled the backstraps yesterday. The rest will hang for a week or so, depending on this fine example of global warming. Tomorrow’s temp is predicted to be in the low single digits here on the western fringe of the megalopolis of Neuevo Los Angeles (Denver).
We have a shallow well, 20′ X 20’intensive garden, lots of rock dove (Pigeons) and the newest foreigner (Eurasian doves) in abundance. A hen house, root cellar and solar array (electric, wattage uncertain) are on the drawing board for spring.
Other preparations include what Janet Reno would have deemed an “arsenal” of practical firearms.
Carpe Ductum!
Sieze your asshole? Is that like the Goatse guy? LOL!
Nice. Good for you, Sven. I hope to get a doe in upcoming weeks that I’m gonna use just for Biltong.
Tam has a definite advantage, as a colander won’t fit over my glasses. I may just use my duster- maybe get a leather if I can find one- and line it with kevlar and go for a Dresden look.
With a 12-gauge blasting rod.
Anybody have an opinion on the new Ruger Mini-30 rifles?
WWI flying ace cap and goggles for me. They’ll go nicely with my homemade body armor when I’m on my bicycle, zipping past all the abandonded cars on the cloverleaf with a backpack full of prescription drugs and trade goods.
No wonder I can’t find a colander.
Back when Stinky was born, they had a state program called Texas Tomorrow, which would match your kid’s college funds 100%. Two years were paid for by the State of Texas, thank you very much.
I wouldn’t know how to handle it now.
