Banning discussion of religion (Christianity in practice) from school grounds needs to go on the list. All because I feel bad that my kid feels left out because I won't let kids go and see what its about because I'm insecure that kids may come to a different conclusion than the one I like. A safe space for controlling and insecure adults. <br /><br />3:16Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-86723186057485565442016-02-14T19:28:40.599+13:002016-02-14T19:28:40.599+13:00I think the most reassuring thing is that people w...I think the most reassuring thing is that people will ignore rules and forced thinking when they become too oppressive. The more oppressive the state becomes the more people tend to rebel.

Cowed into obedience, we are regularly urged to ensure our speed doesn't exceed some arbitrary determined number. Such social conformity must bring pleasure to someone's heart, it doesn't to mine.<br /><br />Mind you I am grateful for the absence of smokers from buses. davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312282243883488495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-92204467468259353122016-02-14T08:26:04.806+13:002016-02-14T08:26:04.806+13:00` Or holed up in my non-consented tree house.'...` Or holed up in my non-consented tree house.'<br /><br />Smoking pot because cigarettes will be too expensive!!! pdmnoreply@blogger.com
