Today on Fox News, Alan Brinkley, a liberal author was exposed for authoring two history books which were ‘grossly inaccurate accounts of history’. Alan is the Professor of History at the Columbia University. The two books are “American History: A survey" and “The Unfinished Nation". Being a 'Professor' must give some privilege of unmonitored context in ones publishing.
This is one sure way to pollute the minds of our younger generation. I have authored a book about factual events, and I see how it could easily be distorted until someone challenges it. My question is with something as foundationally important as our history: who monitors what is going into our schools? This is where ‘freedom of speech’ is dangerous. 'Freedom of' without boundaries is the cause of confusion between right and wrong. Even morals and ethics become distorted.
If someone knows of a society or a council that I should know about please let my readers know.

Our Monopoly Society
When our economy ran out of cards from its ‘community chest’, it quickly began pulling from the ‘chance’ pile. Now, though we are running out of money and approaching the end of that chance pile as well, we still want to continue with all the players. So, in an unprecedented effort we are borrowing money and cards from another board. No additional players, just money and cards. This does two things. First, the game is continuing with the same problems. The most congested spots on the board are: Go to Jail, Collect Salary, Chance, Income Tax, and In Jail.
The second problem is the new players (future generation) who play the second board, have all its players but with less money and cards for allowing a good wholesome chance to grow. It’s only a matter of time until both these scenarios are pitched for the two diced game of ‘Trouble’. When this game is over it will unfortunately result in the most historic game of ‘Sorry’ ever recorded.
This is the simplest way I can explain our economic condition to a child. Maybe you can understand it better as well.
