Slaughter of the Dissidents

Americans are a freedom loving people. We've gotten lazy about it though, as evidenced by our propensity to listen to "experts" over our own reasoning. We don't do the research ourselves. We listen to talking heads, and those whose worldviews do not reflect our own so their "expertise" is suspect.

Perhaps this is why we are a homeschooling family for we do not like to be told what to think.

Now as Lutherans, we also know that we cannot know everything and that there are sometimes mysteries that we are not meant to comprehend.

Still, the beating rhythm of our hearts cries out like Mel Gibson in Braveheart as he is about to be cut from stem to stern, "FREEDOM!"

In light of that, it appears that a perfect segue is here to those who have absorbed the message of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed which is academic freedom.
