Call for ideas
December 13, 2019A reader named “Constructive” made this comment the other day:
Here’s an idea for a future post. Invite commenters to list the services and expenses local government should cut.
That could be a good idea.
Let’s think about it over the weekend and then respond.

A date that will live in infamy
December 7, 2019Our entry into world war two came after a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on this day (December 7) 1941.
On August 12, 1941 congress approved an extension of the selective service act by one vote. The country was certainly divided on that issue and on the idea of intervention in the war that was going on in other parts of the world.
A short four months later, after the Japanese attack, the pendulum of public opinion shifted and men and women voluntarily entered the military service by the millions.

Public schools

I believe that it deserves some attention.
The purpose of education is not to produce a workforce. It is to create educated, responsible citizens capable of thinking for themselves.
The Duluth News Tribune printed this the other day:
Communism is soaring in popularity. More than one-in-three millennials view communism favorably. So does nearly 30% of Generation Z. Millennials’ support for communism grew by nearly 10 percentage points over the past year.
We deserve better
