		<description>What a great quote, Herky!  I had completely missed that one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you&#039;re right that it&#039;s going to take more than tea parties to turn things around - it&#039;s going to take repentance.</description>

		<description>Hello Mike B. Thanks for reading and leaving your comment!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting proposition. I think that academic knowledge will indeed follow character, because a desire for study, as well as the discipline that study and learning require, are only present in an individual with character. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think both must be brought up together, because learning character is more than just filling one&#039;s head with facts and logic; it is built only through tests and experience. Applying yourself to your studies is a great way for students to develop and exercise character in the world away from home, but they will not develop character abroad if they do not develop it at home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this reason, the home is to be the center of the student&#039;s development of character. Character cannot be developed without a motive and a basis, however; and the Bible provides both. When the Scriptures no longer were the standard, character in our students dropped. It figures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for sharing your thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy FFQF!</description>

		<description>A friend of mine told me recently that we are over-educating our youth - and ignoring their character.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should be training in character, and academic knowledge will follow naturally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something to think about, based on your comments in your post.</description>

		<description>Hello Dave! Glad to hear from you again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm. Good point. As for me, I wish the protests had been done at an earlier time, when they would have made a bigger difference. Oh well. Better late than never, I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for reading and leaving your comment. Happy FFQF!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not quite sure why this year is a special one for tax protest, except as a political stunt. With that said, I support regularly reminding the federal government that its power is to be limited, and that we don&#039;t need an earthly &quot;king&quot; (1 Samuel 8:6 - 8:20).</description>
