I'm under the impression this is a healthy score. Challengers?

Breeding Ignorance
In light of the latest news, I can't wait to have a child. I look forward to informing the school board that I have no interest in my children being educated on Belgium. Our family has always held that Belgium is a conspiracy perpetrated by the Swiss to draw attention away from their chocolate monopoly.
Hey, in Alberta, I have the right to raise my children in whatever sheltered, ignorant way I want. They don't have to be exposed to multiple points of view on a subject, and I certainly don't want to waste my time explaining to them that just because the teacher tells them that many people believe in the concept of Belgium, that doesn't mean that Belgium really exists - I mean, its difficult to convince them that our beliefs supercede the basic laws of geography.
And I certainly don't think "Belgian" is an appropriate lifestyle choice for my children to even hear being mentioned, just in case they decide that they too want to explore the possibility of being from a minor European state. What next, will they start to experiment with Luxembourging?
Another victory for Ed Dullmach and the Con-slave-atives.
