Lies Of Omission

Via WRSA, here are two videos well worth your time. While watching, I’m reminded of how much I miss hearing my old friend Mike Vanderboegh. I do miss him.
I’m also reminded of how glad I am to have David Codrea as a friend who is still alive and working on the same side as me, and I’m thankful for newfound friends like Matt Bracken, all of whom appear in these videos.
Matt says something interesting. He remarks, “Why should this generation care about freedom – they’ve never been taught it in school.” Right. By education and training, I’m an engineer. Those courses necessary to teach me the basic tools to be an engineer I learned in college. But I learned to be an engineer by working as an engineer.
As for the liberal arts, logic, theology, reading comprehension and the other things necessary for life, I learned nothing of value in college. Nothing. College was worthless, as was all of the schooling which preceded it. I first learned to think critically when I matriculated in seminary, taking the awfully difficult tests, and reading thousands upon thousands of pages of literature. Hard, difficult literature, not the crap in college. Assuming they aren’t taught it by us, this generation will never understand until it’s too late. By taught it, I mean about those doctrines of liberty.
