Neighbor, here's a PSA:  if you're going to take your kids out of public school, you should have to look every other kid in the eye and say: "My kid deserves more than you do."    LOL!!!!  A member of a school board in Alabama literally said that. (And then turned off the comments because it wasn't going well for her.) 

Next: What's wrong with vouchers? And what happens to first-year teachers--fresh out of college--that imemediately turns them into crazy, union-loving, copying-and-pasting activists?

Finally: If you try to change the church by-laws, you may have to step over the bodies you leave behind you. And also--you can't make kids eat good food. That's bad.

Hey, Neighbor! If you're looking for a great place to eat that you will probably regret later, Kokomo has a few options. (Happy Birthday, Jeff!)  Around these parts, we have greasy coney dogs, dirty donuts, a racetrack that some people have heard of, and a strip bar that even MORE people have heard of... 

...PLUS Kokomo has several dozen churches that have been listening to crappy Hillsong music, so all of them are drifting toward Charmismatic progressivism.

Why do you need scissors to open a package of scissors? And why do "guests" in church think they have the right to tell those churches how to operate?

It's a lively discussion! And there's even some peek-a-boo.
