This speech was Ike's finest hour, IMHO -- even more important than his
role
in D-Day.

Of course, what he said doesn't have anything to do with what I said, or
what Churchill said -- or what Peter said -- but still, it's a nice thing
to
post here once in a while.

You may brainwash a few to one ideology, and you may brainwash a few to
another, but the vast majority will make up their own mind quite well.

Brainwashing? The only one who could remotely be accused of trying to
brainwash anyone might be Churchill himself -- but I don't think so. As
you point out, his arguments are so absurd that most intelligent people
can
see right through them.

Most, as in 51.5%?


Which, of course, is the whole point. Do we *really* want educators with
such clearly asinine positions on the payroll?

That's a fundamental problem with the public education system; it's a _no
win_ situation all around.
