I was there for this class. Michael did a great job covering the Bill of Rights. Thank you for sharing this!

Great stuff. I loved Mr. Badnarik's Constitutional class and would love to be around for one of these.

Badnarik talk like a real Muslim man I hope that the Creator  bless him and his family and gives him the courage and a long life to continue to fight for the right of the humans.

Are they allowed to impound a car for any reason? I know several ppl who had their cars impounded b/c they forgot to renew their driver's license, it was no more that 2 weeks over their birthday's...couldn't they just give em a warning & show proof them renew it.? it cost $600.for one day of impound w/fines...& the other guy never pick his car up cause they force him to keep it there for a month & they was no way he could afford it!

He would be more impressive if he recited the First Amendment word for word, instead of almost word for word.

@PaulUmbarger Its not like the parents can't compel the kids to do things, like go to school, the government just shouldn't be part of it.

[Hashishin13]

@PaulUmbarger Uh the pledge is to the flag and the republic for which it stands, so yea. The under God is some bullshit they snuck in, so it should go. Kids being compelled to go to school leads to the absurdity of being forced to go at the end of the year even when they aren't teaching anything, among other stupidities. I forget what ridiculous percent of knowledge is lost after one year of getting out of high school, I believe it's about 75%, you should go look at the study.

@PaulUmbarger Sometimes I think it depends on the parents also. I met some of those home schooled kids who could hold great conversations and could deal with people very well. But their parents were sociable types. I never was good with people, I went to public school. I tended just to stay solitary. The old days had many benefits, like smaller classrooms, so they could get better one on one attention. It would be a great solution I think.

[PaulUmbarger]

@Harikus IN the old days, all schools were locally operated and staffed.... and we've ALL heard the old folks talk about how they feel they got a better education even if it didn't cover as many subjects or go as in depth in some. As a side note, most "hoe schooled kids" Do tend to do better on exams than their peers but, seem to be lacking in some social skills. Perhaps a return to what we had years back WOULD be a better solution.

[PaulUmbarger]

@Hashishin13 Interesting point. I don't know that I totally agree with kids not being compelled to go to SOME kind of school but, public schools as they are don't seem to be doing what we were promised that they would do. Mabe we should just have the kids say whatever prayer they want to at home and at school just say a pledge or an oath... not to the flag but, to the Constitution or something along those lines. What do you think?

[Harikus]

@PaulUmbarger i agree that its problematic, which is why most libertarians believe in doing away with public schools. its the only way to solve the problem of dealing with the tyranny by the majority (or in other cases the minority)let people be responsible for their own kids, and pool resources if they so choose in order to teach their kids the way they want. there is the issue of externalities, but enough driven people can make things work in my opinion - where there is a will there is a way

[Harikus]

i think the libertarian movement underestimates itself greatly, and they should put more videos up. but i also think people at large underestimate themselves too, they, like i used to be, believed a government program could fix anything, whereas individuals are helpless and weak. this is of course bull, as any movement starts with one person
