Wisdom is not something you teach - wisdom is the soul of the heart and can only be understood by its owner. A wise man never aswers a students question of why or what instead you are given a task.

Basing morals on myth is like building a house on sand.

Ethics (honesty) is the beginning of education.

Joe, his ten commandments are good too

one of my heroes...

It was metaphorically speeking guys

Excellent!

Just a silver spoon will do

Enlightenment is the key - that should be the focus of education - to know what BD means in the word education you need to know his thoughts on education and I'm afraid we are far from that. An 11th grader today could not take the same exam of 50 years ago - yes, we are falling backwards - at least our nose will not be bent out of shape...

Indeed! And we are currently experiencing the results... we have dropped down to 30th re: science and there is a brain drain - we are obsessed with results to the point there is no content.

Ron, there is more death and destruction, cruelty, torture, evil, hate, and the list goes on. You have the nerve to quote from a book that has caused untold misery. The harm that religion has caused throughout the world is so evil that one thinks this must be his world and that God and the devil are synonymous. Look into the mirror and see the hate you have for your fellow human beings ■ there is more ethics and kindness in Bertrand Russell than any religious figure with the exception of Mother Teresa and even she had doubts towards the end.

Warren, I’m afraid your criticism is without truth or honor, and as Oscar would say “Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit”. Oscar Wilde was an incredible artist in a world full of bigotry and self-righteousness, his works were brilliant. His talent was abnormal, exceptional, and much the delight of the Victoria parlors. His other plays are some of the most produced, such as The Importance of Being Earnest and Lady Windermere’s Fan. His poems, critical dialogues, and many other works will be enjoyed throughout eternity. Oscar was Gay and a darn good one too. And the last thing he did was to shirk responsibility as his prison sentence would attest too. - he was offered safe passage to Paris and refused. Lastly, in his preface of The Picture of Dorian Gray “Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming . This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things means only beauty” Have a nice day, Robert P.s. He was cynical to the point of brilliance. I deal with Socialism on another occasion

Reston - well done! the process for choice should be made clear to the people. Eduction also has the responsibility of explaining choices.

Liberalism is that no more no less from our forefathers to our present day Liberals - thank god for them - keep you head high Liberals for without you we would quickly slip into oblivion

No. There's no Aim about it, they are... Our education system is getting worse and will continue to do so while we have ignoramus’s running the country

Its in the interest of the Republican Party and business to keep American's Dumb - if we eductae them they may become Liberal. So, yes, education does fall in line with a planned economy.

Most definitely....

We contrive to survive and until that stops we will never have real freedom - well done J Carlton I love that... Carlin definitely hits the nail on the dream

How prophetic

That's exactly what makes them SO IGNORANT… Never before in the history of the USA have we suffered under the hands of so much ignorance. The dumbing of America is in full swing and the public are as much to blame as our administration. The public is apathetic and are comfortable as long as they not effected directly. We should be in the streets demanding impeachment and the trial of those who have committed war crimes. He that is the aggressor shall suffer the consequence of his own ignorance.

I do not know this gentleman’s writings but the questionable quote is questionable - Public or private is immaterial what is material is what is being educated. The Oxford Union debated last night the Jewish Holocaust - from the most private to the most public stupidity meets in the middle.

Catch 22 - excellent!

So, I presume all political theorists are neither ignorant or wise

I love that.... Warren's only joking
