Exercising liberty ~

Where I live there is a section of town that is more industrial than much of the rest of the area. Lots of warehouses and the trucking center where goods are moved from truck to truck or to people from there.

In that area there is a piece of property that has a Buddhist temple on it. I've watched over the years as they've fenced the property, then built a wall around the property, then built decorative parapets on the wall, built an ornate golden gate to get in and out of the complex. They built a temple with very decorative gold turrets and domes. The grounds are meticulously cared for. And beautiful!

What I do not see is those people forcing what they believe to be taught in public schools. I do not see those people things running for government office on a platform that says we will introduce our beliefs into the school systems and everyone will need to learn what and how we believe or they will be punished.

Many people think that beliefs about race and so-called science are being forced on people that do not want them and would not go out of their way to learn them. Some have become so progressive and liberal they see the school system and the University systems as methods of delivery of their beliefs.

I wish that we would just get back to teaching the basics in school and letting families and charitable organizations teach the beliefs. But because so many are destroying families and stomping out charitable organizations every chance they get I guess they just don't see a different way to do it.

It's a good thing that I can stay in my bubble and exercise liberty within that.
