To turn the tide begin at home

I have been very involved in learning about homeschooling and have decided to go with the Thomas Jefferson Education model. Many of you have read the book A Thomas Jefferson Education by Oliver DeMille. About a month ago he had a webinar that Shawn and I participated in. His new book is called "The Coming Aristocracy" about the way our federal government is headed (or already at, as Shawn and I believe). In his webinar on this topic Oliver DeMille gave some pointers as to how we can work for Freedom and not be bound down by our government. First we need to work on really educating ourselves and our children. By using Classic books (including Scripture) and Foundational documents we can really know good and true principles. If we do not have this foundation we give our freedoms away through ignorance. Second we can build mini-factories. I am going to study more on this concept and get back to you on it. Third, we need to cooperate with others who support the ideals of Freedom but may not agree with us morally. A big reason why supporters of Freedom seldom win is because they are too busy bashing each other and concerned with themselves being right. Freedom fighters often work in "Rage not Wisdom". We need to work together in the spirit of Wisdom so we can all regain Freedom. Shawn and I say "regain" freedom because we feel a lot of ground gained by our founding fathers has already been lost in the past 50 or so years. We need to work to turn the tide or our children, and we, will drown.
