Mr. M, yikes, th...Jon Swift, great post, as always. <BR/><BR/>Mr. M, yikes, that's embarrassing.<BR/><BR/>That having been said... Jonathon,<BR/><BR/>I took a look at your Ambassadors blog, to see whether your comment here was parody outrage, or sincere. Your blog screams sincerity, so I will go on that assumption. (Also, your internet handle isn't the name of a famous Irish satirist best known for suggesting the eating of 1 year olds)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, assuming I am not making the same mistake as Mr. M, my sincere hope for you is that when you get out of your homeschooling and into the real world, where you can begin to think for yourself, you will be open to the idea that you do not know as much as you think. You have your whole life ahead of you to educate yourself and read up on philosophy and science. <BR/><BR/>Re: your discussion of evolution in your post the "Impossible Coexistence" (http://ambassadorsofchrist.blogspot.com/2007/06/impossible-coexistence.html), let me just point out that you will not find the answers in Genesis, nor in a website of the same name. <BR/><BR/>If you are truly interested in the topic, I would recommend taking a look at http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/list.html, an index of answers, with citations, to the anti-evolution claims found on your site (and at the Creation Museum, and the Answers in Genesis site), and repeated ad nauseaum by people who never bother to actually read the literature on evolution, relying instead on what some no-nothing sophist with a website and a few quotes from the Bible. <BR/><BR/>Once again, that address is http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/list.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19959879.post-77205074700143793802007-06-14T07:59:00.000-07:002007-06-14T07:59:00.000-07:00Not enough people on the Yahoo finance message boa...Not enough people on the Yahoo finance message boards are getting your Republican message. Therefore I've decided to go into the liberal trenches-the Yahoo Stock Message boards to get your message across. (all true conservative fans of Jon Swift should take note). <BR/><BR/>Your last post is already getting comments since I posted it there. <BR/><BR/>http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_R/threadview?m=te&bn=15119&tid=264387&mid=264403&tof=3&frt=2#264403<BR/><BR/>I urge other Jon Swift fans to do the same. All of these cultural messages affect the companies that do business on the stock exchanges and we must take our message to these liberal rich elites. There is already one liberal complaining at the Rite-Aid board (the pharmacies have too much science in them so your post is "on point".) <BR/><BR/>Come on fellow conservatives. Go to the liberal elite trenches and educate them. Visit the Yahoo stock message boards to get the conservative message across.

I love your blog. Because everything you say is so true. I discovered your website a while ago when doing some research about the Conservapedia. I'm living with a very conservative, fundamental christian hostfamily, who, like you, knows that evolution and global warming are a lie, that homeschooling is the only true form of education, and that the media are biased and corrupt little children's minds. That's also the reason why they won't let me watch TV. At all. But your blog and the hilarious comments you receive make mora than up for my otherwise lack of entertainment.

Definitely Apples and Oranges.<BR/><BR/>IF a private/charter school does better, they are completely free to discriminate and select only those students that they want. <BR/><BR/>Wow, is it any surprise that those students will score higher?

The world in which Jon Swift imagines is one of blatant ignorance and bigotry, encouraging mediocrity and stifling intellectual dissent. It is the kind of world in which we as a people can only aspire to failure, though we do so ignorantly for the Lord will make everything right.
