Yah, this speaker puts his finger on why Frerie is loved by the Left and hated-feared by the Establishment: a child's time in school is the natural pathway to change from the bottom up. As far as I know, only Waldorf methods education honors this comprehensively as the mission statement given by its founder is "seed beds for new social forms."

I attempted to send this to Law and Disorder, but neither the form on the Home Page or email worked.
Second best is to send this missive as an open letter.
Greetings Law and Disorder Folks,:
The ruling 1% profits from war and from it’s aftermath.
The Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama genocidal war in the Middle east created huge profits for the 1% and opened the treasury for looting, by them of trillions of dollars belong to the 99%.
To the Ruling Elite an antique chair can’t be replaced, and their minions created conditions (double digit unemployment) making servants and other workers easier and easier to replace at lower and lower cost.
That tens of thousands of lives have been indentured and destroyed means profits to the 1%.
You said on Law and Disorder.com that gas prices could double–more “wealth” for those for whom there is never enough.
More petroleum profits for the 1%; they own the Pres. and the U.S. Congress–-war, if not now it’s when.
That folks like you exist makes life worth living.
Thanks to you all.
Most sincerely,
A. Max Opus, chair and table
Alcoholism, in the Defense of Liberty, is No Vice.
I agree with everything A. max Opus writes here. Obama is the 3rd term of W. (Observe Attorney General Eric Holder who differs little from the previous AG,Gonzales).
The Republican's can't see this as they morph into the American White People's Party and attempt to force march our country back 60 years to 1952.
The odd thing is that the 1% doesn't really care about the Tea Party or the middle class of the right. They are exploiting everyone in the masses beneath them, which includes Tea Party and Social Conservatives.
How far right will the Republicans go, to the right of the KKK?
Romney is a Wall Street Republican at heart. Obama is a Wall Street Democrat. So it goes.
Young people need to get more publicly active in designing the future. If not, in 2022 they'll find themselves in 1952, which wasn't the good old days for non-whites, women, gays, Jews, Mexican-Americans, Native-Americans, Hawaiian-Americans, Inuit-Americans, Asian-Americans, and Liberal-Americans.
1952 was a great year for oil companies, racists, and the growing war industry.
