This quote says it all. You get to decide what your child reads, but that same right belongs to other parents too. Freedom means choice, not control.

When we start deciding what *other people’s* kids can read, we cross from guidance into censorship.

Respect your values. Let others do the same.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?
