Just like there are good teachers and bad teachers there are good individual loving projects and then there are others. Locally we have union 5 offering a community design project where the students act as a community planning board and a peer was sharing how excited he was about this project. I asked do they tell the students that less than 12% of the workforce are even members of a union? Do they teach individual property rights? I was informed no I'm missing the point it's about community responsibility and collective support.

Yea I missed the point alright.

Ten years ago I started beating the agenda 21 drum and no one would listen. No one. It then came and took away my commercial property rights and still no one would listen. Now it seems to be a big deal because it is finally affecting more and more people, but sorry folks....agenda 21 started during Bush the elder's term. He signed on to it....all unofficially of course (ha!) and now it has taken root. Also, it's evil spawn, I.C.L.E.I., which I believe is the root of common core. They have a wonderful website that even shows which cities have signed on to iclei. And the agenda is to take all your land and water rights away and to indoctrinate your children that it belongs to everyone and at the same time to no one and is to be worshipped. And gee, guess what? It's working.

Another part of Agenda 21 is the elimination of private property. In part, this is done by essentially making private property useless. Case in point - I own some acreage out here in Eastern Washington State. Over the past few years, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain water right for irrigation -- this is strange since I live along the confluence of the Columbia, Snake and Yakima Rivers. Without irrigation, property here is perty much useless. Wash State Dept of Ecology is apparently taking measures to put moratoriums on commercial well drilling -- the CID (Columbia Irrigation District) has been trying to get the right to put in wells to augment the canal system - this lobbying effort has cost 15 years and many thousands of dollars - to no avail. I am in a waiting line with ~200 other property owners and 1000+ acres of land among us, that could be productive, were we to have irrigation. And so here we sit, on our property which cannot be put to use -- all while we continue to pay property taxes. To paraphrase Rand - When the producers have to seek approval from those who produce nothing, it is then that you will know your nation is doomed.

Re. Agenda 21: I am not sure of this, but the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge, near Lawton, Oklahoma has all the earmarks of Agenda 21. Among the earmarks, there is a HUGE fenced off area within the refuge wherein no human is ever allowed to go. I asked if this was a means of allowing nature to restore that area to the natural state. I was told, "No. Humans will never be allowed in that area again." Or words (exactly) to that effect.

It was only in the last year that I discovered Agenda 21 and ICLEI, I've been pounding the anti Global Warming drum for almost 10 years. At least I was on one rail of the right track.

I think I posted about Agenda 21 several months ago, warning about it. Concerned the attempted takeover of another ranch in Nevada. And Dirty Harry's non-efforts in stopping it.

And for that, you get extra time on your board!

Hello Overmanwarrior,
I liked the book also. Another excellent entry!
There will be no retreat or safe-house to sit it out. We will either be compliant little sheep or made into outlaws. Did you see this latest case of eminent domain abuse?
