American Contempt for Liberty - Walter Williams
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- Throughout history, personal liberty, free markets, and peaceable, voluntary exchanges have been roundly denounced by tyrants and often greeted with suspicion by the general public. Unfortunately, argues Dr. Walter E. Williams, Americans have increasingly accepted the tyrannical ideas of reduced private property rights and reduced rights to profits, and have become enamored with restrictions on personal liberty and control by government.
If you're a fan of Thomas Sowell, you'll most likely enjoy what Williams has to say!

Today is December 10, 2020, and it is sad to have to say that Dr. Walter Williams passed away this week. We have lost a treasure that most Americans do not realize. May this great American rest in peace.
That's why we need to study his worl and carry his message that he was trying to share and rest in peace Dr. Walter Williams
It was a very sad day because we lost one of the greatest minds in the twenty-first century.
It's hard to part with Walter Williams. We still have Thomas Sowell, thank heaven.
I'm shocked at how his death received absolutely no news. Not even Fox News or The Daily Wire reported about his passing.
“For moral people legality alone cannot be our guide” This man is a profound thinker. Thank God for educators of this caliber.
Amen! I wish we had more like him.
I am not an American, I don't live in the USA and have never visited the USA. But I'm 77 years old and today, for the first time ever, I've heard of this outstanding man. He's a revelation and an inspiration. Thank you, Sir!
You will love Thomas Sowell, too.
@@BladeOfLight16 The true test of these people comes when the reach the age of 65. Then just like Any Rand all the years they have been complaining about Social Security and Medicare being immoral goes out the window when that social security check arrives in the mail. A first test was given in 1929 after the stock market crash. Did private charity solve any of the problems created by capitalism for the working class? In fact even "New Deal" government charity was not enough only with the rise of the CIO union movement challenging management rights and Roosevelt's "War Deal" was capitalist exchange and trade able to begin to revive.
Kim O'Brien
Capitalism created the problem? BTW, SS is something they’ve paid into. It’s not them taking from the government.
What’s your solution? Take everyone’s property, if they won’t go you arrest them, then kill them?
Communism kills millions. It’s never not murdered those people you pretend to care about. In fact you all ready are. It’s called abortion.
You are a deceiver.
I’ll keep my Rights. Thanks anyway.
@@BladeOfLight16, I do, what I've seen and read of him! Anybody else I should know about?
@@dianem6951 , also keep your firearm - it's one of your rights.
When I hear an intelligent person speaking truth whether negative or positive or about others or themselves with equal scales, I'm in awe and I wish them all the honor in the world.
Most excellent. This is now a part of our Home School civics class.
That's where this wisdom should be taught. Restore the Black Family.

I was homeschooled :) good job
Krs2 3 of my siblings have graduated from Hillsdale and my youngest sister is going there in the fall :) great school
"I am uninsultable", best words one can use to facilitate dialogue. Thank you
Incredible speech, years before people's awakening. Courageous and truthful!
Brilliant Tec here in Houston they were closing down one of the public schools which was in the black community because it was under performing! Oh my god the outcry and outrage the community was having over this!!! They cried racism at every turn and completely ignored the fact that the school was not properly teaching these children!!! They managed to find funding to keep it going for a while longer. Very sad that these parents seem to put more emphasis on the building their kids went to, than whether or not what they were learning was up to par!!
And years after people being "woke"
I was a cut up kid in 1976 in middle school. My teacher had enough. They took me out of class and put me in the short bus class. I was embarrassed and promptly went to the principle and told them I would behave and not give my teachers a hard time any longer. Just please give me a chance. He did give me that chance and I did take school more serious from that point on. Most would do the the same if they were given the options Dr Williams spoke about. I spent one day in the short bus class and knew I had to change. I was a B and C student at that time. If it would help to make the change in schools I could retrieve those records as an example to use. I graduated high school.
38 years old and I’m still learning so much from men like this. Why wasn’t so much of this taught in school, at any level?
You mean the government schools ?
I'm sorry Mr. Williams and Sowell age like the rest of us. They should live forever...
I was thinking something very similar while listening this time.
Who can step up to fill their shoes? Who prizes education and intellectual honesty over emotionalism like these men?
They will...
Coleman Hughes and Jason Riley and Kim Strassel in addition to John Mc Whorton and Glen Loury
Amen
He is just under Sowell in my book as one of America's greatest patriots and thinkers. God Bless Him!
Excellent presentation; I would add that for the analogy of armed thief to government to be even more accurate, the thief would have to keep $150 of the $200 he took by force before using the $50 to help the injured lady. The government does nothing -- not even stealing -- for free.
DaveKtver The GOVERNMENT doesn’t make ANY MONEY....THEY FORCE US TO PAY THROUGH THE NOSE AND WASTE MOST OF IT ON SOCIAL SERVICES.
I work in childcare subsidies. We get 10% of every dollar we pay out. Our goal is to give out as much money as possible. So nice of us huh?
@@bromine35 lol, I work for mental health. The more money we spend the more money the federal gov. gives us. Our goal is also spending as much money as possible. Funny how that works
our government has taken a lot of MY money to pay welfare for a lot of people that dont work. gov money comes from REAL PEOPLE! IT AINT FREE! from housing to food, education to health care, LOTSA people here dont PAY IN NEARLY ENOUGH! and HELL NO! you dont deserve it just because you are HERE at that moment! get a job!
Walter Williams is a national treasure. I learn from him every time he speaks.
Hits the nail on the head by calling out the 2 primary drivers for unfulfilled lives of black kids, fraudulent public schools and universities and disintegration of the nuclear family.
Yes all intentionally designed to keep the black population on the Modern Day Democrat Plantation of dependency in trade for their collective vote. Trillions of dollars spent on the, so called, "war on poverty" and what are the results? They are mostly still hanging on Dinesh DaSouza's proverbial 'Rope' waiting to be pulled up. And it'll Never happen!
Yet Trump comes along and his economic policies have set so many records, including the Lowest Black Unemployment in American History! Let go of the Rope, and come over to the Ladder!
(If you don't get it, look up Dinesh Da'Souza's analogy of the Rope and the Ladder)
Look up: D'Souza addresses massive crowd at Marine Military Academy in Texas
(Rope and Ladder begins at 51:27)
Who put these policies in place to erode those institutions to their present conditions.
@@Mr626667 Teachers, unions, politicians.
Yes , abortion and feminism was aggressively promoted to black women; it fostered an "Im independent, I don't need no man"--- religion and mantra.
Man where's this guy been all my life?
Joe Ellerbrock main stream media has hidden him like a bad rash. He blows the status quo to shreds.
It has been awhile now, but he filled in for Rush many times. He explains/teaches in terms and by examples that make it easier to understand. I have always appreciated listening to him, and I my university degree is in Agricultural Economics with and MBA.
@@youthmanrecords965 Him and Sowell...Milton Friedman as well.
Ditto Mr. Ellerbrock, Dr. Williams is an astounding intellect and I’m going to learn more about him and his ideas.
I think Harlem NY, maybe Phili? Im not sure but I think he's been in Harlem!
One of the most Brilliant men of our lifetime and will be missed
Dr. Williams, you are a brilliant man and such an amazing role model for anybody in our society but especially young people. I so appreciate your time and consideration in taking your time sharing your wealth of knowledge. Thanks so much!!
Never tire of listening to this incredibly gifted individual.
Especially immoral when taxes are sent to other countries as aid.
do you pay taxes? how many did you pay? where do you work? who sends YOU a check?
they didnt want these kids to throw away this money too! so they gave it away!
Absolutely!
Worse yet where we find that part of the purpose was to give kickbacks to dirty politicians.
What a brilliant man. Thank you doctor Williams.
36:36 Good lord is he dead on about the class time eaten by discipline. I experienced this myself with 2 of my classes in senior year of public highschool. The teachers didn't fail to remove the students because they didn't want to, but because by policy they could not. I was able to transfer out of both, but I pity everyone I left behind.
Jak Kuhl Obama ended school vouchers program that was so popular to black parents. I can’t believe that he won another term, but it helped Trump win as people were disgusted with liberalism and BS like “black Lives Matter “ when I believe ALL LIVES MATTER, ESPECIALLY UNBORN BABIES, WHATEVER THE COLOR!
This man has done more for my education than anybody else.
I would be PROUD to have Dr. Williams as my nextdoor neighbor! He is a national treasure!!!
"Keep the apples fresh, but you can't get rid of the rotten ones.", brilliant analogy.
His "drunk driver" analogy for disruptive kids in school is great...elegantly simple but spot-on. Very useful in debates.
You have to be one the most amazing speakers I've ever listened too! Speak it my good sir you are an amazing person!!!
I wish I got to meet him , RIP thank you for all your great works you have left us with
If the media had any understanding whatsoever of the American people, they'd be running lectures like this 24/7/365.
"I've suggested to people... if they are ever on trial and charged with counterfeiting, they should just tell the judge they were engaging in monetary policy."
oh my days hahahaha
NA Sound very good!!!!
They could say they were "helping with inflation".
When Dr. Williams spoke about his response to slavery and it's relationship to capitalism he mentioned that he benefited from the act of slavery because he never would have been born in the United States had slavery not occurred. He wasn't condoning but stating an observation. It reminded me of Joseph in Genesis who's brothers had sold him into slavery and years later when he was reunited with his brothers and they feared retaliation Joseph spoke these words of wisdom. "You meant it for evil but God meant it for good" God takes evil acts and turns them into blessings. I never equated the two stories until Walter Williams spoke about his perspective. Very wise man.
Dr. Williams - Solid , Intelligent , Wise and effective at Communication . Much needed . Thank you . . . Marcus
Wow I remember that story as well. I didn't think of that either until you mentioned it 😃
I had the exact thought of Joseph and his brothers. They meant it for evil but the LORD produced good from THEIR act.
Dr. J and Dr. W! Two amazing men. Thank God for Professor Williams! He is brilliant and hilarious in his low key way.
this is my favourite speaker, concerning liberty specifically!
I Never Heard Of this Man B4, Dam he’s Good... I Wish I was this Smart Not Only this Gentleman But Listen to the Audience & the Questions U can tell Most are Educated Quoting Andrew Jackson’ etc etc Etc.. Very Worth the Watch.!!
Dr. William said absolutely right that I remember in 40 years ago, even very young children would easily find jobs. There are plenty jobs there to choose either middle classed jobs, blue collared jobs...etc. Every Friday, the large complex or small four-plexed apartments parking lots were all vacant to drive to enjoy their weekend for fun. Life was stable and freedom to dream for better too.
The State was larger also.
Dr. Williams Thank You for This VIDEO!!! God Bless You for Your "MAGA" Efforts!!!
Your Story is the 10 Commandments Right???
wtkjr.!!!
Uncle Walter is at it again.
Either you own yourself, what you produce and freely trade for, or you don't.
Outstanding. Thanks you.
First time ever hearing this man. He's has my approval. Not just because he agrees with me on everything, either. I like what he says about "Don't know what to do with a problem but remove the problem first. Then think about what to do about it."
Walter Williams is an awesome economist. I like his story of he and his wife have a monopoly on each other.
Much, much respect to this man.
Excellent program! Dr. Williams offers a number of deeply thought-inspiring insights, in this presentation.
In particular, I'm moved by Dr. Williams' observation that he, personally, benefitted, as a result of slavery.
This may seem like a counter-intuitive notion; but clearly, young people in Dr. Williams' generation were raised with the awareness that their parents, grandparents and teachers, had personally experienced slavery, or had elders who had experienced it; and were highly motivated to take fullest advantage of their newly acquired freedom.
The elders recognized that their children, grandchildren and students, had far greater opportunity available to them, than their ancestors, of just a few generations earlier.
This compelled the elders to be extremely diligent in their personal and professional lives. As a result, they became well-educated, successful, and prosperous.
They recognized the necessity of encouraging their young people to study hard, to stay out of trouble, and to dream and realize big dreams.
The memory of the oppression suffered by their ancestors, motivated them to be successful acheivers, and to pass that motivation and hunger for success, on, to their young people.
Wonderful insight.
Awesome isn't an adequate descrip! If I'd had teachers & profs like him, I'd of finished law school. He really challenges ones knowledge & understanding of our Constitution, democracy & gov't responsibilities. It's too bad we've gone past the point of "no return" (to the orig), so now we're left with making lemonade with the lemons we have. But through wisdom like his, we'll produce a better way of life for America until God's Plan & Purpose are completed here. And we don't have to fear, but can be encouraged because His Perfect Gov't will be established in His Time. Thank you Dr Williams!
Walter W. is entirely correct when he mentions (around 18:20) that student-athletes "suffer through the memory of being hailed as a champion" while on the path of being forgotten after the university earns $40million or so.
Pay the damned players! I agree.
If you pressed a dislike button please drop a comment here and let me understand a bit of your reasoning because I personally can't falter this.
aaahhhh!!! ooHH!! poor baby! feelin real sorry fer ya! NOT HARDLY!
@@dalemaloney255 Drop a comment let's hear you
@@gambu4810 their reasoning and intellect only allow for feeble attempts at condescending basement perspective remarks.
This guy has nailed my idealism against government theft of my hard earned property before the 4:00 minute mark. 👍
Walter E. Williams is a legend.
An erudite and insightful scholar and a man of integrity 👏🏻
Absolutely right on. First generation immigrant to the USA here. Arrived in NYC in 1956. Raised to be naive in a Christian school. On the east coast i've been mugged and/or threatened 6 times by young men of color. Now i understand their hate. I look tall, and white, and privileged. But my life hasn't been easy. I live on about $1000.00 a month social security at my present age of 70. ( My rent eats about half of that.) But i'm totally against injustice. The injustices so rampant in USA today. Even those against my brothers of color.
An extremely smart man! Thank you sir!
#DrWilliams 👍🏻 Love ur talks, u are so smart, witty, enlightening 💕
holy crap this guy speaks to my heart
"AS long as we're paying the bills, you will do as I say."
The federal govt is subordinate to STATE GOV.
Black by Popular Demand! Thank you, Dr Williams.
WHOA! I DID NOT VOTE YET!
What I love in this man, is the ability to see the positive side of situations, even of what most see only a negative side. Many get angry with me because of having the same outlook in life. ( For example thanking two horrible dictators, Stalin and Mussolini, otherwise I would not have met my wonderful wife of Polish origin, in Tanzania, years ago. Her parents had been taken to Siberia from Lviv, from now part of Ukraine, and my father was made a prisoner by the British in Abyssinia, and both parents ended up in Arusha.)
Balance does not require equals...If the people involved are Humane' with an "E", and thoughtful, honest, is his point..
Great lecture
Enlightening
A pleasure to listen to
Great man - he puts facts in perspective and always keeps cause and effect in mind 🤗
Glad you think so!
I never knew Capt. Thomas Sowell had co pilot...great men of my time.
Why don't we listen to smart, honest men like Mr. Williams (or women)? Instead, we listen to Nancy Pelosi or Don Lemon or any of the 22 Democrat candidates. (Possible exception of Andrew Yang which has no chance at winning.)
I certainly believe there’s a budding of love for the constitution
I'm a registered voter in US government. I'm a classical liberal. I strongly oppose laws or legislations that diminish individual rights. My question, to Dr. Walter Williams there have been authors that have identifed U.S. citizens trend to vote for limited freedom. What can I do to protect my freedoms? The U.S. Constitition is still effect just largely ignored by registered voters i.e. tyranny of the majority.
WHAT a Titan we lost in December 2020 when Walter Williams went to his Heavenly REWARD!!
If it's a good rational, reseasonable,logical,moral argument I always get it. This man embodies these things.
Here's how my parents made me do my homework: In my family, which was me, my mother and my father, I was allowed to know that my father was working very hard to get through medical school; my mother was working very hard as a Registered Nurse, to provide for all our needs. We lived in student housing. We always had food. I walked to school. School was MY responsibility. If I shirked that responsibility, who knows what would have been the outcome? My father might have to leave school; my mother would be crushed. Everybody had to pull their weight. I didn't make messes. I didn't do dangerous things. I didn't get sick. I didn't waste our supplies. I didn't make my parents worry unless I did something I didn't realize would do that, and I was made to know whenever I did something "wrong", just why it was a negative impact on our family. I didn't ask for anything I didn't need. That's how I grew up. My parents were born in 1913 and 1914. They experienced the Depression as they grew up. My mother's family was a large, Italian first-generation immigrant family. My father's family immigrated from Canada, into Detroit. Nothing was ever easy; but we always had food and shelter and each other.
Socialism: It isn't a choice between Socialism and Capitalism; there is no choice in economic system. Why would people choose to use only a spoon or only a fork or only a knife? Impoverished thinking! The US has socialism, and it is wonderful! We have PUBLIC schools and they used to be good schools. We have PUBLIC libraries, PUBLIC transportation, PUBLIC museums, and so on. And we have private enterprises; hooray! We have food co-ops. We have community colleges. Hooray! There's really no need to choose only one economic system. In any system, everyone who takes must also give; that is the way of the world! Explain this to your children and LEAD BY EXAMPLE!
Give up your false pride, the NEED to be wealthy, elite. You have so much "stuff" that you don't need or enjoy; too many people work themselves to death for more "things", for "status". Then they die, alone, because they've put a lot of space between themselves and those they attract who want their stuff. Read. Paint. Make music. Learn to can vegetables or grow a garden. Teach others to tie knots. Square dance; play bridge. Take food to your neighbors. Talk to kids. Sew for a charity. I am relatively poor, live on my SS and live in a trailer with rescued cats; my choices. What are your choices? Get rid of what keeps you from having time, rest, fun (whatever that means to you), feeling safe, well, and happy. Joy to you. Have more joy and less pain. Take care of yourself, all sentient beings and listen. You are never alone. We are all in this together.
You know how when you listen to someone new for a while and you get to where you could finish their sentences...this did not happen once. I love this man's brain.
I love this. Thank you.
A real American!
Great perspectives on absolute freedoms.
He ain't lying about slavery.
you are truly a amazing person. Love you very much
I got more about history and the bigger picture of human life, out of lectures by economists like Dr. Willams than I got from history lecturers....
Great speaker!
I miss him already
Please run for President!!!!!
Oh my God that would be awesome but I don't think he could win. The media and that includes the sliver that's right wing wouldn't give him enough time to articulate his policies to folks. Even if he had that platform would enough people listen to him? Sorry I know that was extremely pessimistic as I would love for him to be prez myself
Scalia and Thomas :)
And their economic counterparts Sowell and Williams
I believe the freedom and equality of the opportunities for Americans of all, without freedom equal without water. It’s America’s principles and ensured by our country America’s principles of own established rules of laws as Constitution. I immigrated to this great country America legally and only 200 hundred dollars left in my pocket and applied school loans from school and immediately returned after I found jobs. I believe honesty and own responsibility and principles to live better and appreciation toward our great country America. No own should owe me, but my own responsibility to work hard to live better and build our country America together. I don’t want to owe others either. It’s my own honesty and hard working and responsibility to return what I owe from emergencies. I believe our country should lead and govern by principles of the rules of the laws from now on and in the future, because we are a civilized nation of Constitution. We may be generous mind of forgiveness for the past, but it is the duty to protect and defend America’s principles of freedom and equality of the opportunities by own established solid rules of laws as Constitution for America’s greatness. If not again, America’s greatness will be gone for good. No one not cherish our freedom for America’s greatness and no one not afraid of Communism ideologies of the countries. As long as we respect, follow and obey our country’s principles of Foundations and Constitution, America will be great, because our country’s principles will ensure it. We will be able to to enjoy the freedom and equality of the opportunities, because the principles will ensure it. This is why I believe the principles should supersede anything for America’s greatness. Let’s be united together again for America’s freedom and equality of the opportunities principles by America’s principles of Foundations and Constitution always together. This is why I will only vote ones who will stand strongly and firmly for America’s principles of Foundations and Constitution, because I truly love freedom and equality of the opportunities. Wear seatbelts example exactly fit the topics which means the principles must supersede anything in order to be responsible to self and others as well as teaching us to obey the rules of the laws.
I know America had slave system as many other countries long time ago, but Christiananity brought loving kindness into America and gradually established America’s principles and spirit of the liberty and equality of the opportunities. Nowadays, many minorities become richer, rich or even super rich, many also become very educated, many become different leveled Governing leaderships to lead and govern, even became America’s own President to lead and govern. This will only be happened in our great country America by America’s principles of freedom and equality of the opportunities. We can’t live in the past, because the past was long gone. We should live in presence of our country America’s own principles of freedom and equality of the opportunity only and appreciate what we have for others to dream for it and respect, follow and obey our principles of Constitution, so Americans of all will be able to enjoy our freedom and equality of the opportunities for long. Let’s be united together together again by our country America’s own principles to build America’s greatness always and forever by our own generous mind this time and lead and govern by America’s own principles of Foundations and Constitution from now on and in the future. God bless America.
Now can someone tell me why in the world we only hear about the haters/race hustlers such as al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Obama and more only instead of this fine intelligent black man..?
MGTOW 4life
Loud screams of noise are always louder than hushed words of substance.
The sense this man speaks is not considered newsworthy simply because it’s sensible.
Hate and sex always sells, have a spirited debate next to a demolition derby and people will watch the cars hitting each other nine times out of ten.
Civil discourse and rational thought is seen as boring to so many people.
Oh, and most people look for people that are like them as much as they look for those that are not.
The race baiters offer both a place to belong and someone to despise, your in group is the reason for the good in your life while the out group is the reason for all the bad.
It’s a mechanism at least as old as humanity, if not as old as social creatures as a whole.
Race hustlers simply put a new coat of paint on a very old but reliable vehicle for their success.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t hate it, but give the devil his due as some would say.
At the beginning, when he talks about Congress doing "legal theft" he misses one point--With legal theft they have to take $300 to distribute $200 because there'll be a rake-off to support the bureaucracy that does it.
Government support of agriculture was mentioned. As a farmer, I would like for nothing better than for the government to stop subsidizing farmers, but then, who would eat and who would not?
Please consider and remark on the Constitution allowing 1 rep per 30,000 where now we are close to 1 per 800,000. How was Congress able to limit the People's House? If the members of the House were in their communities and met around the Country a few times a year I think we would be better off. I want the Representation the Constitution allows me.
Tim Steinkamp
Most politicians would be assassinated by their constituents today if they actually met those that voted them into power.
Wait, no, they do meet those that put them in power - their lobbyists buy gifts for politicians all the time.
There is no representation for the people unless the people can afford the luxury.
That right is now an offer to the highest bidder.
On a side note, could you imagine how bloated the House of Representatives would be with 10 thousand politicians inside?!
How bad would the budget be then?!
@@nicholashernandez4611 Keep this figure in your mind. 1 trillion dollars at our population of 330 million is equal to $3000 per person. That is not just working people or heads of households that is new babies and old seniors. That is the amount of our current deficit each year for the foreseeable future. Currently 21 trillion. Look up federal employees in DC and around the world and look up the current budget and do some math. I'm considering something we can do within the Constitution before a revolution or complete breakdown of society and this American experiment we were given.
Your comment is understood. The first thought is it would be crazy expensive to do that and must not be a good idea. Or they wouldn't get anything done. Now Congress people complain of how much time they have to spend raising money for their next election.
Logan Waltz
How about this for an option?
In each state, every group of 30,000 individuals would choose a single representative.
These state representatives would speak directly to the house of representatives of their state and to the Congress people of their state.
The local representatives could be voted out every 12 months or continue their representation as long as they have the votes of 30,000 individuals.
Individuals can vote for any representative they prefer, but representative must have between 25,000 and 45,000 individuals to represent.
Individuals can offer voting vouchers, worth maybe $5000, which their representatives can use to lobby politicians on their behalf.
This would be the most primitive and an evolved form of a newer electoral system.
What do you think, could this be a respectable step to a new representative system?
the problem with this argument is that governments are supposed to govern (restrict or channel flow) and so it is not stealing to set the rules to favor all instead of just a few by monopoly. Too often in NZ we see a competitor offering a new service forced out of the market by under handed tactics and stand over of the vendors.
Last of his kind, a true American.
Good man. Thank you for posting this
Why is it Walter Williams is such an entertaining and inspirational speaker and everybody that introduces him as boring as hell?
The last of the great orators
This simple and fundamental principle is at the root of what's wrong in America today. Moral wrong-doing does not become moral right-doing just because it is carried out by government.
Wow! My eyes are open
Wow! Could not stop listening
Mr. Williams is AWESOM!!!
The Ben Franklin of our time. Nuff said.
Teachers/ school system's need to completely get rid of the tenure system where bad teachers can't be fired. Instead they are just moved to a different school and yes, students that are disruptive teachers use to be able to have those kids removed from the room and in most instances there was a specific classroom they were sent to for the rest of the semester and often the rest of the year if they could not behave in their regular rooms. During my entire 12 years ( 13 counting kindergarten ) I can name all the teachers that actually gave a dang if they taught the class on one hand. I still remember each of their names. As far as the teachers my kids had I can count both of their teachers that cared, taught the subject on less than one hand. I had one teacher call me and ask why my son wasn't on Ritalin. She informed me all of the rest of the kids she had was taking it and she had,had both of her own kids and her husband put on it. Laughing about how quiet it was at her house. Excuse me but in my state it is not legal to recommend that medication for any child to be put on. She was upset when she was later told she had been recorded and she had denied everything she said in front of the principal. I played the tape and showed how much she was lying. But due to the tenure system absolutely nothing was done, I was able to get him moved into a different classroom. The second week in the new room, new teacher his grades suddenly went back to A's in English.
I was involved in their school's, I applied for a substitute teacher license and passed the necessary requirements so I could do more than volunteer in the computer lab. My mother was never involved in the school's I attended, my sister that is 9 year's older took her place if needed and she did all school holiday parties, baking and decorating cookie's and cupcakes. Many nights after she would stay up all night baking triple of each cookie and shapes then hand drawing and finish decorating and she did the same for every triple number of cupcakes. They actually looked like they had come from a professional bakery. And the next morning she would go to her junior high, high school and try staying awake in her own classroom's. I'm very thankful for the older sister and that she cared enough to make everything as beautiful as she did. She never said I can't or she didn't have time.
When I was a student from 1957 through 1970 there was no discipline problem. Kids did not disrupt the class. What happened?
Discipline was quick and firm!
Madison’s statement about charity not being a legislator duty is spot on. I’m against welfare for all. I think I should be able to donate to whatever charity I want. If LBJ wanted a Great Society act, then they should have passed the hat around. Only the elderly and the disabled could I see us supporting. I shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s bad decisions. Yet, that’s what we are doing. It now has become a politicians MO to spend more as part of his campaign.
Wow This is the first time I have found a orator who agrees with me , if the state tells you what is good for you and completely nurtures and protects you , you stay a child you never grow up . Socialism turns men into children and destroys families .
Mr Williams we salute you
Paying a student athlete is the dumbest idea for a couple of reasons. 1-Schools with the biggest bankroll will be able to spend money on players while small schools suffer. 2-It makes the Scholarship redundant. So would that mean a school will pay an athlete & deduct tuition?

Smartest man I have ever heard...
Excellent presentation from one of the great American economists. His reference to the sun not setting on the British crown is incorrect. "The empire on which the sun never sets" was attributed to the Spanish and later became " The sun never sets on the British empire" not crown. What was meant by this was that the empire was so widespread throughout the planets continents that at any given time one part would be in daylight. Strange that an economist doesn't know this.
