About Homeschooling - your technique is a good one. That is way it is done - I think though today, parents forget that they can educate children at home and they just subcontract it all out to the school - an example being, my father - he could build houses, fix cars, do everything - but never showed me how to how to do anything. I had a great father, was always good to me - but I can say, I don't think it ever occurred to him to want to teach me anything - I think he just figured if I was interested I would learn it myself - the problem is, that it would have been good to have those neural pathways rung as a child on everything. I often think I missed a trick, as both my parents let me do anything I wanted and never made any attempts to navigate me into any area at all. Often when I see patents trying to tell their children to learn something it seems alien to me. That being said, I made good use of his workshop - learned to build things, fix things - mostly on my own.

About the fake babies - yes indeed I agree. Plus, I find it very interesting that today there are no attempts to try and make a logical case for anything - they don't have to defend their actions - its just "dead babies, so we can turn this place to glass" - the mere fact this still works on people really does say something about the quality of the person out there now. Although, I do think it is working less well - it seems the propaganda is not landing in the same way it used to.

About, trusting your gut - that is the thing. We need to use our instincts more about this world. The onus should be on them - to prove, through mountains of evidence, that what they are saying is true. They should be nowhere near the "trust me bro" part of the graph anymore - they have no right. In true terms, they lie so much - we should not give them any time of day.

Thanks!
