Hey Little Hawk, Mouse et al.

Never have Ontario schools been so savaged by a "Big Brother" provincial government before...and all in the name of conservatism!

How do you figure it, MAV?

I'll stick with my local control opinion which does not sound like what your Harris is doing. I don't care what they may do it in the name of......no two communities are alike and one size does not fit all.

One case where it would "fit all" is if the state (or province in your case) were to equally fund each student and allow the parents the right to send them to the school of their choice with no government strings attached (true state vouchers).

I don't think MAV was taking pride in those "religious nuts with guns" founding America

True, that's where I believe the tradition of "scalping" came from, a bounty on Indian scalps. I only was referencing the fact as a historical prededent.

I like to believe that today's Christians in general have "lightened up" quite a bit, and I appreciate their value system and moral code (most any real religion for that matter)

I also would like to mirror the comment about those who pretend to be Christians. A so-called "Born Again" just ripped me off for $3200.

MAV has a keen appreciation of the injustices perpetrated upon North American Indians, and he has talked with me before about that. He's what you would call definitely pro-Indian when it comes to such matters

It's true, believe it or not!

The true traditional Indians I've met live their spirituality 7 days a week.

Thanks LH.

PS. I think we should stop calling ourselves "conservatives" it's way too confusing. The current status quo liberals are trying to keep things the way they are and for that reason could be considered "conservatives".

I'll accept the moniker of "Constitutionalist" any day.
