		<description><![CDATA[This PLDD gem spoke volumes.

Spurred on by the concept, I&#039;ve written my rendition of PLDD from experinece in dealing with government bureaucrats and politicians as a: homeschooling parent; president of a nonprofit community organization; political forum moderator; business owner; and brief stint as a city manager. 

I&#039;m getting woozy just thinking about the past interactions with those afflicted with PLDD!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great soundbite: &quot;Roosters may be noisy but they don’t actually make the sun come up.&quot; Another great quote I&#039;ll use: &quot;Science provides a method for understanding the world, but it does not answer questions about principles and values.&quot;  

For example, the math war in education should focus on values, not  cherry-picked &quot;research&quot; studies (often unreliable) that support reform/constructivist methods. What do we value in our children&#039;s learning--feeling good about math or productive results?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jay-I think you have been reading Thomas Sowell. Everyone should.

Given the traffic into the thousands of views I got from all over the world this weekend to this Friday post http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/if-education-transforms-values-and-feelings-and-beliefs-to-control-behaviors-are-we-free/

there is clearly a global belief by the average person that PLDD is rampant.

We really are under assault by people who either think they know better or that there is political power or business revenue to be generated from trying.

A historical reality to governments and rent-seeking behaviors our federal system and the US Constitution were designed to protect us from.

I guess that was before SCOTUS got so flexible in its findings of what is a permitted intrusion and mandate.]]></description>
