I certainly don't whine about my "rights". I just make it clear (in this case, on homeschooling lists no doubt monitored by the bureaucrats) that I won't put up with any crap, and anyone who messes with me will get more than he bargained for. (Needless to say, I am a noncompliant homeschooler.) So far it has worked like a charm. I believe it is because bureaucrats mostly want an easy job with no risks. They know they are safe when messing with people who cite case law and other such "inside the system" nonsense.<br /><br />To be free, you have to act free. Dancing with bureaucrats isn't acting free, is it? Not in my view, anyway. Instead, it is exclaiming what a good slave you are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
