We really do learn a lot by seeing, and I think keeping children out of workplaces at the level we do is one of the reasons people on a grand scale today can't do anything with their hands. I'm not suggesting a return to the work place abuses of the Victorian Age or 14yr olds being forced to support their families, but the lawyers and insurance companies have really put a damper on our children's ability to find what they are good at or might interest them because they can't witness it or try it. The Industrial Revolution is full of young inventors who saw the capability of the equipment at young ages.Dennis Nugentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-31170564625453082832012-09-13T08:42:50.349-06:002012-09-13T08:42:50.349-06:00It was totally unprofessional.

Her Twitter account is labeled "militant anthropologist against the<br />corporatocracy". She has three degrees from UC Berkeley.<br /><br />Her profile page says she specializes in Honduras, and refers to the "2009 military coup"; that would be the removal of the President by the Supreme Court for illegally trying to amend the constitution to allow his re-election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-54029510995843503712012-09-12T21:45:23.793-06:002012-09-12T21:45:23.793-06:00If the professor can bring their babies to classes...If the professor can bring their babies to classes, should the privilege extend to the students as well?<br /><br />If I'm paying the for the class, I wouldn't want to share it with Romper Room.

Change the scenario: would it be good for a father to take the same child to work in a machine shop? <br /><br />The sole reason for child care is due to the decay of our culture. Any culture that sacrifices children upon the altar of money or career is no different than a culture that sacrifices its children in the fire to Molech for a prosperous next year.
