I've flown them for quite some time now and always have good experiences. Of course it's nice that my Dad gets mega-points (miles?) since he flies for business so I fly free... but I'm glad I get to use the Southwest free flights. <br /><br />It's good to hear your son is engaged by good teachers.. check my reply to Nickie and you'll see it sticks with a person when the teacher makes learning interesting. <br /><br />Also - check out my new post for some interesting info regarding what today's Americans know about the American Revolution.. sadly fascinating to say the least.Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-47216706638791871352010-01-06T21:19:44.583-07:002010-01-06T21:19:44.583-07:00Nickie - when I graduated in 1985, we had a requir...Nickie - when I graduated in 1985, we had a required class during senior year called Civics, also known as "Government" by the students. <br /><br />I loved that class, because I had a very engaging teacher. I also had the wonderful fortune of seeing Ronald Reagan speak during a field trip associated with that class. I didn't know then the value of that experience, but I remember it clearly and greatly appreciate it today.<br /><br />Today, I'm not exactly sure what kids are being taught.. except that my sister-in-law tells me that if their school system had its way, my 7-year old niece would only be aware of one president ever having existed, and his name is not Bush...<br /><br />Now of course that's a 7-year old, but impressions are made at a young age.Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-37029746342743571332010-01-06T21:12:26.924-07:002010-01-06T21:12:26.924-07:00Pedaling.. thank you, and a very Happy New Year to...Pedaling.. thank you, and a very Happy New Year to you as well.Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-51530979666626066962010-01-06T21:09:47.661-07:002010-01-06T21:09:47.661-07:00Odie - you took the thought I have so often and ex...Odie - you took the thought I have so often and expressed it perfectly.

I love that his teachers are conservatives and seem to have the same passion for our country that we do. <br /><br />I think you're absolutely right that too many of the twenty-somethings in this country don't really understand our Constitution, and think that what our current government is doing is a good thing.tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849649019416902710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-23915779631824605592010-01-05T12:33:15.864-07:002010-01-05T12:33:15.864-07:00Do any schools still teach Civics?

I am so glad you made it back safe and sound. <br /><br />Yes, our Founding Fathers would not recognize this United States of America that we live in today for it has gone deeply off the beaten path that they intended. They would be horrified at how our politicians have abused their power out of greed and pure selfishness. <br /><br /><br />I hope you have a healthy and prosperous Happy New Year!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-69285102357585671632010-01-04T22:37:16.152-07:002010-01-04T22:37:16.152-07:00Hey B&G..

All I can say now is - Go Cardinals, and no way to the Colts! I'd rather see the Chargers win than Payton and the Overrated Gang. <br /><br />Anyway.. I did a good bit of reading during my vacation... finished The 5000 Year Leap and got part-way into Glenn Beck's Common Sense. Got a nice collection of books as a Merry Christmas / Happy Birthday from the family too... <br /><br />My blogging may slow down a bit, but if that becomes the case then intensity will rise proportionately.

Yes, ...Hey TCL - a very Happy New Year to you too!<br /><br />Yes, Christmas was very merry this year. The little ones are growing so quickly.. it's amazing what happens while I'm away for a year!<br /><br />I agree about Obama being the person who has helped to wake the sleeping giant. Strangely enough, we might someday be grateful for his election... but that depends on us. <br /><br />I have regained purpose and determination after my break. I plan to come forward with a full head of steam.

Happy New Year.<br />This is a terrific post and you're right, people today do not realize that the Federal government has a very limited job to do. And no wonder, the Feds are into every aspect of our lives these days from our health care to the kind of car we drive.<br />If anything good can be said of the Obamanation administration it would be this...they have been successful in waking up the citizens of America to the fact that they/we are losing our Republic and something must be done about it. Let's hope we can take action before it's too late.<br />Glad to see you're back!The Conservative Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669596582233642119noreply@blogger.com
