School Choice: Public Education vs. Home School
When Americans think of education, they almost
automatically think of public education. Through
the years, it is slowly changing. Many parents
today are deciding to home-school their children.
Although most people think that a public education
is better, most statistics and facts tend to show
that home schooling is beneficial in more ways. It
is estimated that parents are now teaching over
two million children at home, rather than in
public or even...

Government People Money

I was pleased to find out that I was a centrist.
Its true that I favor government intervention in
some cases, but in other cases, people should be
able to govern themselves. Here in the land of
freedom, I think it would be impossible for the
government to control everyone and every activity.

down on pornography distributed through cable or
the Howard Stern show which will soon be going to
satellite radio. People are paying for theses

in China speak Chinese. Some of my opinions on

massive worldwide famine was just around the
