    He defines an opening to write about his gifts but the last paragraph was not courageous at all.

    @jolly said in Convicted of family violence:

    His parental rights are one thing. His abridgement of free speech is another.
    In both cases, the court is wrong. Or, the law is.

    Maybe, maybe not. But I doubt that either court or the law is wrong. In either case he has the right to appeal to a higher court.

    In the meantime he must comply with the lower court rulings or face additional charges and jail time.

    The only issue here is that he is currently in contempt of court.

    We obviously do not share the same values in this and, I am sure, many other topics.

    Gets a lot of music out of that POS geetar.

    Why sir, you mean that the player means more than the instrument?

    As Jon would say, "Jesus"

    Read history and you see what could happen, and what has happened repeatedly in the 20th century.

    Good point, Aqua. Really good point.

    And as fast as possible, the idiots are changing the curriculum in public schools. Didn't they read history? Of course, just like the rest of us did in public or private education. So, how is it "they" want to go in a direction that could be so awful, where people have no choice because the government has mandated how and what will be acceptible?

    As a school board member of 12 years in a large district, I should be able to answer my own question, but I can't.
    I could not figure how the progressive changes demanded by the SJW could so easily be implemented without discussion. I saw the dramatic changes in curriculum and classroom issues taking place, but there was nothing I could do. Even asking an assistant superintendent in a public meeting, "please explain what Social Justice is, in how it will be implemented in our district, and will be undertood by everyone."

    I asked similar questions for the final 4-5 years of being on the Board, as I saw the changes taking place without argument, or rather, arguing was not allowed. She could not answer, I became the target and was basically forced off the board.

    And now, all 5 board members are far-left.

    As Reagan would say (Jon's favorite pres), "Here we go again."

    Sorry Klaus, I actually thought Jon made that comment. 'Condescending' doesn't apply to you, at least.

    Here's jon tipping his landscaper. "Hey, José, come over here for a second. Listen, José, I don't want you to feel bad about taking this, because honestly this amount of money is meaningless to someone like me. But for you, I feel like it would be life-changing. And jon-nyc is in the business of changing lives, José. Today, it is my great privilege and honor to change yours. Take this 20 dollars, José, and go buy your five kids a Happy Meal. Tell them it's from uncle jon. There's a good lad. Now run along."

    I'm sure nobody has ever accused you of being condescending, Horace.

    That is correct. Thank you for recognizing my humility. Few people do. In fact it's one of my most-overlooked qualities. The masses have proven unable to recognize many of the things that make me superior to them, but I appreciate your perceptiveness in this regard.

    I'm going to leave you a shiny new penny as a special thank you for your humility.

    Shots in arms is the answer.

    I can’t listen to an other nonsense until everyone understands the mission. It’s like watching people get picked off by a sniper and everyone is cowering.
