I'm a member of the Pirate Party of Canada, but I was on their forum a few years ago, and we could not agree on much. I gave up. They want freedom for downloading music and movies, and I am opposed to the laws relating to this (<a href="http://c4ss.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/intellectual-property-a-libertarian-critique.pdf" target="_blank">“INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY”:A LIBERTARIAN CRITIQUE</a>), but they only wanted this freedom and the freedom to smoke weed. I agreed with them about IP and smoking weed, but they didn't care about the freedom to direct your own children's schooling, for just one example. I've had my two children in a private Christian school since the beginning, and neither of them have even seen the inside of a public school. I'm very proud of that. But yet I pay taxes to support a school system I wholeheartedly oppose (look up Kathleen Wynn's sex-ed curriculum). These Pirates couldn't care less; in fact, they would support compulsory public education, and the forced abolition of all private education. How do you join forces with such a group even for a point you agree on?To make matters worse, I'm pretty sure all of the parents who had their kids in the same school as my kids would have been happier than pigs in mud if the Ontario government gave tax dollars to private Christian schools, as they do in Alberta.:disgust: The moral stupidity here sickens me. I would rather have put my kids in a private secular school than a public Christian school. I'm not okay with a gun put to my neighbor's head to extort money to educate my kids. With government, there is always a gun in the room.I think it's best I not be on Facebook.</blockquote>
