Because the fruits of my labor were confiscated by the federal government, in the form of payroll taxes, to pay for it. It's all my money, isn't it? So raise taxes.

Thank you.

But, but I thought government entitlements are supposed to take care of me in my time of need?

Do you have a citation for this? I don't see this mentioned in the Wikipedia entry, and one of it's sources has this: http://mdroots.thinkport.org/library/anthonyjohnson.asp

I would like to hear more about your unreasonable hatred of soccer, which your apparently neanderthal mind views as some kind of threat. I would put forth that most high school football squads generally receive more in the way of "treat bags" than the average Indiana high school soccer program.

If you would have actually clicked on the provided link you would have your answer.

Reparations?

Please define "decent numbers" and it's relationship to the overall school enrollment and the current IHSAA primarily-enrollment based classification system. Would say a 4A school that only has 22-25 players on the varsity squad, with 5-6 of them playing both on offense and defense, be considered "decent numbers"?

I don't know what to say...................

By name and the traditions in GOT regarding "bastards", no. By blood, yes.

No football at Rossville, but a Hornet senior gets a scholarship to play esports at Trine University: https://www.jconline.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/04/19/rossville-student-nolan-starkey-parlays-gaming-passion-into-esports-opportunity-at-trine-university/3497676002/ Congratulations to young Mr. Starkey. He is part of a wave of the future.

http://www.cannelton.k12.in.us/sportseason.aspx?season=autumn Only boys varsity cross country. The only fall sport offered to young men. Why does Cannelton hate females?

Why doesn't Rossville have a tackle football program? It's enrollment numbers are comparable to its conference and county rivals like Clinton Central and Clinton Prairie. Why are the Rossville athletes getting their faces slapped, being denied an opportunity to compete? And "entertainment" certainly is a factor, otherwise athletic departments wouldn't charge a gate fee. If you want other than just the immediate family members of the players to attend a game, you should have an entertaining, competitive product on the field.

Here is some light reading for your Easter weekend: https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf Enjoy. Only 855 redactions: http://thesmokinggun.com/buster/donald-trump/mueller-redactions-738952

https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/eliminate-federal-student-loans/ A fine plan, and one that I support. Government needs to get out of the education business, and that includes financing education.

https://mises.org/wire/will-conservatives-see-light-secession Major events — like World War I — effectively broke up traditional empires and created new sovereign nations. However, wars should not be the only catalysts behind the creation of new nations. In fact, political entities that face any kind of internal disputes should enthusiastically embrace self-determination and get the ball rolling on a voluntary and peaceful basis. Kelly’s framing of secession as an “amicable divorce” is the right mentality to take when discussing this matter. Secession should not be treated as a cataclysmic event that requires a massive state to crack down against the “unruly” subject. We’re dealing with humans here, not automatons that have to be poked and prodded during each election cycle, nor realpolitik chess pieces that must be exploited by politicians and bureaucrats. Instead, secessionist movements represent the logical response to the unhealthy relationships that individuals and certain populations segments have with central governments. These movements should be allowed to go their natural course. In sum, political conflicts should be treated like any other human relationships. When they fail, both parties divorce and go their separate ways peacefully. The Seeds of Modern-Day Secession are being Sowed In Europe The idea of separatism is no ivory tower theory — it’s something starting to happen in real time. Since the 2016 Brexit vote, separatist movements throughout Europe have been rejuvenated and continue to gain ground as the European Union treads through the waters of socio-economic uncertainty. Even in America, rural counties are revolting against big city interests over the issue of gun control. Some parts of Washington state, have gone as far as to propose creating a separate state in eastern Washington that better represents the interests of rural communities. The twentieth century was a time of centralization. However, this historical development did not just happen in one fell swoop. It was born in the eighteenth century through the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Rousseau advocated for a mass democracy of sorts bolstered by an activist central government. Cliché concepts such as the “will of the people” have formed the philosophical backbone of gigantic governments worldwide. The problem isn’t democracy itself, but rather its implemented scale. Eventually, states get too big and the cultures within them resort to unproductive political conflicts, thus making every election cycle a high-stakes affair. Not exactly a recipe for peace and tranquility. Ryan McMaken is correct in asserting that the solution to the mega-state status quo we live in “lies in a peaceful embrace of division, secession, decentralization, and disunity.” Unity sounds warm and fuzzy, but maintaining it at all costs is a disaster waiting to happen. The history of political conflict between factions usually results in civil war, and as a result, the emergent governing structure uses repression to consolidate its power. Respect for individual liberties often becomes an afterthought. Given the changing demographics and unwieldy tasks the United States government is undertaking, the country needs to take a timeout and actually consider separation. Even if it’s based on a simplistic red vs. blue divide, it’s still a conversation starter for future separatist movements. The depoliticization of society starts with decentralization. Mass democracy has run its course and new alternatives that value localism should now be considered. An interesting idea brought forward by Mr. Nino.
