  1. My favorites in no particular order: Firefly The Horse Whisperer Dances with Wolves Stolen Women Captured Hearts Chocolat Contact Titan A.E.
  2. The vaccine will be used for depopulation. Most vaccines have mercury and other chemicals which harm people. The Medical Industrial Complex only cares about keeping people sick so that they can continue to rake in more profits. (Not that profit is necessarily bad) There is no profit in keeping the masses healthy.
  3. I think this book online provides a very good answer to the question. For Your Own Good So basically killing Hitler would not have prevented the war or the mass killings. Someone else would have just taken his place.
  4. For all those whom are interested : Republic of Lakota Russell Means Freedom Russell Means (Personal Website) Russell Means play a role in the movie "Last of the Mohicans". He's one of the last great legends in America. Go to the above websites to see why and decide for yourself. All Freedom Loving Individuals are welcome to move to the ROL.
  5. Ricardo Semler and Democratic Workplaces Ricardo Semler on AME Info One of the best innovators of our time. Has written 2 books on his business model.
  6. Whatever happened to eating vegetables and fish? And I'm NOT talking about the veggies that are pre-packaged for you. TED
  7. Alice Miller's book "For Your Own Good" - Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence has an edited version available online for free reading. For Your Own Good Also recommended is Nation of Wimps
  8. I'd like to recommend 2 books to draw your attention. The first by Alice Miller "For Your Own Good-Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence" She condemns the belief "Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child" and states that the 4th commandment is destroying our children and has continued unabaded thoughout many generations. No Spank is promoting her book and has some very interesting links. The 2nd book I'll recommend is by Hara Estroff Marano - "A Nation of Wimps" - The High Cost of Invasive Parenting Nation of Wimps From the back of the book
  9. The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are featured advertisements in the latest January Issue of DGC Magazine DGC Magazine Freely viewable and available for download as a PDF.

  11. I think I posted "The History of Compulsory Schooling " , but thanks for reposting it in here.
  12. An excellent YouTube video on the History of Compulsory Schooling.
  13. I suggest you take a look at the material/books from this site The Coming Collapse of the Dollar and how to Profit from it.
  14. A better model would be one which leaves the child alone to pursue his own interests in total freedom, without anyone else (parents, or administrators) forcing the child to learn what may or may not be useful. Even if it is useful will learning something that is FORCED upon you make you happy or miserable? Such as The Sudbury Model and Sudbury Main Site
  15. Anthem Why Businessmen Need Philosophy The Virtue of Selfishness
  16. How can they be responsible in a system that fosters dependency? This issue has to do with "The Fourth Purpose" of the Prussian Public Schooling system. Please read Underground History of American Education available online for free. http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/chapters/index.htm Also: Against School : How Public Education Cripples Our Kids, And Why? http://www.wesjones.com/gatto1.htm
  17. It's the curse of being a subject of the public school prison system. Those who attend SVS (google for sudbury valley) schools are able to discuss things at an adult level, because of the rich experiences they've had interacting with other students and staff and just doing their own thing. The above problem is not an age issue, but mostly because the system doesn't allow for children or young people to have experiences of their own.
  18. And now for some really good news: http://blog.ianhamet.com/index.php/archive/2005/10/19/1426/ http://www.threesources.com/archives/002048.html Purchase at a discounted price from joyo All prices in Chinese RMB http://www.joyo.com/detail/product.asp?pro...q9sq9557s7ssm5g
  19. Isn't the current controlling class wonderful. Everyone preaches that their curriculum is best, or that their way is the best. Yet none or very few have questioned the actual **sitting behind the desk** model of learning. For a model that is truely different and allows the students to make their OWN choices with what they want to learn might I suggest the SVS model. SVS SVS Network
