Utterly Meaningless

I wonder how you survive in that town sometimes.

Bah, wrong post. This is related to the FOOL post…

There are a couple other left-leaning civil libertarians around. Fortunately, one of them is the editor of the FO. Gene Smith– a good guy. He recently tipped me off to “Long Road Out of Eden” by the Eagles. Good tune, too.

It is my opinion that this man’s “homeschooling” was simply another part of his cult indoctrination. And, yes, I do mean to refer to that stripe of xian as a cult.

Whether a shooter is homeschooled or public schooled is about as relevant as whether he was wearing socks or no socks. You don’t hear the media shouting about how a shooter is public-schooled because ps is mainstream. Homeschooling on the other hand is marginalized. I would say that homeschooling is MORE marginalized because of the fucktard fundies who try to claim it as their own little clique. I don’t want to be associated with that (I just posted a long post about this on my blog), so I don’t say we’re homeschooling anymore.

Audrey-
I agree with your irreverent terminology and just about everythng else you say… However, I have to say that if ‘sane and normal’ homeschoolers stop speaking up to counter the perception that (cough, cough) “all HSers are fundies” then they have won and HSLDA has made a good job of it… It seems a bit self-defeating.

I have to agree with both Audrey and Toni on this. Regardless of how others define themselves or are defined, we all have to continue defining ourselves FOR ourselves, both publicly and provately. That’s the only hope.

“Provately” — must be my new mashup word. 🙂

I hereby define it as an adverb meaning to act in the interests of pro-privacy. The corresponding adjective is “provate” which used in a sentence would be, “Our education priciples and politics are purely provate.”

Thus the antonym of provate would have to be “problic” meaning education principles and politics that favor the public system.

Gre-e-eat.

Not to hijack the thread but it’s another miracle! The god of language I worship has divinely intervened in my human typing, this time to give mankind the important new word “priciples” — obviously meaning “principles expensive to stand by in application!”

JJ–

I have to disagree with your definition. I think “pricibles” ought to mean principles that can be bought and paid for. Sort of like how the Dems recently sold out the soldiers stuck in Iraq for the price of some pork.

Sorry, my god’s word is law. This is heresy!
