"How many Catholic schools do you think teach the students to
question the authority of the Pope? Do you believe Christian schools
teach students to question or challenge the authority of Jesus Christ?
Do military schools teach the cadets to challenge the authority of
superior officers? Well, why should we then expect government schools
to teach children to question the authority of government?" -- Neal Boortz -- (1945- ) Radio talk show host, columnist

Take The Pledge
"I pledge that if any U.S. troops, contractors, or mercenaries
remain in Afghanistan on Thursday, October 6, 2011, as that occupation
goes into its 11th year, I will commit to being in Freedom Plaza in
Washington, D.C., with others on that day or the days immediately
following, for as long as I can, with the intention of making it our
Tahrir Square, Cairo, our Madison, Wisconsin, where we will
NONVIOLENTLY resist the corporate machine by occupying Freedom Plaza
until our resources are invested in human needs and environmental
protection instead of war and exploitation. We can do this together. We
will be the beginning." http://october2011.org/welcome
