    ...that you are not being allowed to think freely? Its this system. It seems to get a hold of you and then strangle you. (I don't know if its my region or the world in its entirety). Aaargh....almost can't take it anymore.

    Too much of heaven can bring you underground, Heaven can always turn around, Too much of heaven, our life is all hell bound, Heaven, the kill that makes no sound

        No they can't. Sledgehammer - yeah that's what I need.

        The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

                    That has nothing to do with thinking for yourself. That is about making yourself understood by others. You could, if you so wish, invent a whole new language and punctuation, which only you use. Of course it might get a bit lonely.

                          Yup! A friend of mine is writing a short paper to answer an interesting question that was asked at a workshop I went to recently. The question was "What was the origin of public education?" I found this question fascinating, especially since it was asked in a workshop where there were a lot of educators. So I asked my friend to do some research and put together a short paper on the question and the broader topic of the history of public education in the US. I'm even paying her. OMG, the things she is finding out about our education system here, how it was controlled from the get-go by industrialists that wanted education to do nothing more than spit out factory workers that were just smart enough to work on an assembly line but not think. One of the things she keeps encountering is the stuff they don't teach here in public schools. Did you know that Henry Ford, the revered father of the assembly line, etc., was "...awarded the Verdienstkreutz Deutscher Adler (the Grand Service Cross of the Supreme Order of the German Eagle) on 30 July 1938, on Ford’s seventy-eighth birthday. This award was given to him by the German government in recognition of his pioneering work in the auto industry and in making the car available to the masses." (source)[^] and was anti-Semitic, saying "I know who caused the war—the German-Jewish bankers! I have the evidence here. Facts!" (same source). So, it's interesting to me, how our public (and private) education system here in the US doesn't teach these things. We are taught that Henry Ford is a hero, etc. How can we raise children to actually think for themselves? So, no wonder you feel like you aren't being allowed to think freely. And the above is just one example of dozens. Marc

                                I found that a very interesting read. We often perceive things to be the way we are asked to and that is what sometimes bugs me.

                                      No they can't. Sledgehammer - yeah that's what I need.

                                      The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

                                        Unless they want him to think they don't want him to think freely, in which case it gets complicated.
