The author posits that the definition of force ("violence") is too narrow and must encompass "sweatshops", and then attempts to use an act of violence (theft) to prove that the definition is too narrow!

From that huge error and fallacy, he builds his argument - and it is no wonder his conclusion is in error too.

There is no deep moral question here - there is no free choice and one cannot make moral stances where one is not free to do so.

If the question was:
"It's up to you, you can drive the tractor or not...." without the threat of death himself, then you have a moral question.

But your scenario, none exists, so your question is moot.

Joe,

This is why you must start believing in a God and heaven....

...without that, you can't believe in Hell, and where would evil men go who survive life in good form?

The pictures are irrelevant to the issue.

The CIA overthrew the democratically elected Mossadegh, a moderate - and installed the Shah, who with the feared SAVAK (CIA trained Secret Police) killed and tortured dissents. It is all well and good that some seemed to prosper as favorites of the Shah, but his reign was terrible.

If by purpose you strike fear into the people into submission or kill them, you end up with only radicals left to resist the tyranny. The clerics who hold no earthly fear of death amply stepped into the destroyed moderate position as the sole resistance to the Shah. With tyranny and horror on one side and the Clerics on the other, most of the People had chose the Clerics.

When the Shah sold Iran oil rights to American and British companies, and lined his own pockets and impoverished his people (other than those that he held as his 'favorites') - the Islamic Revolution seeds became well watered.

The unintended consequences of overthrow and tyranny spring to life post-Revolution.

Few people are capable of understanding history enough to avoid repeating this mistake, over and over again.

First "institutionalized" homeschooling is a contradiction.

Second, you're right. I suggest it is the best option (ie: the primary option), but for many cases it is not feasible.

Thus, paid-by-parent tutoring would have to suffice.

Joe,

Look deeper.

The only way myth is forced into fact is by the power behind the school board - government legal force.

The matter whether someone believes in ghosts or not is irrelevant to you or me. They are free to believe whatever they wish.

The matter becomes vital if they force their belief in ghosts upon other people. If it was by their hand, the People would intervene and resist, and that would end that.

But if it is not by their hand, but by the hand of government, resistance becomes problematic. A war breaks out over control of the hand of government.

Get government out of all our lives, and let the ghost-believers live in their own world of their own making.
