The Polling Pit / Products of Public Schools
« on: May 08, 2008, 11:52:30 PM »
Trying to confirm that even if one is a "product of the public school system", you can "unlearn" what you've been taught.
The reason is because I keep hearing from the show of what a loser I am for sending my kid to public school. I fully supplement him on anything he has questions about. Because we have a good relationship, and because he is a bright kid, there isn't a chance he will become just another good little citizen who does whatever the school system tells him to (in preparing him to function as a good little adult citizen).
My true opinion is that since he is going to public school, that in the long run, he will know without a doubt that the system is designed to complete it's agenda. Because he will be aware of what is true, and what techniques are used by the system to indoctrinate him and teach him obvious falsities, then ultimately he will be more equipped to be critical of what the Gov. sends his way in the future.
(I posted this because just yesterday I explained what was missing from his "Abraham Lincoln" lesson he received in school.)

General / Whisky- enjoyment, reviews, prohibition, anything.
« on: April 18, 2008, 12:33:28 AM »
OK- reading about whisky, moonshining, distilling is a favorite pastime of mine. My lineage includes a couple of generations, at least, of Moonshiners- so that's where this interest comes from. From talking to relatives, old-timers and amateur historians in the area where my family is from- we weren't very involved in Running the product, but were renowned in making some of the cleanest and highest quality. From what my Grandfather told me before he died, cleaning the still was the most important step, and one that the lazier still operators would commonly skip. He made moonshine the very old way- what he considered an artful way- using nearly all corn and just a bit of sugar. His stories caused me to read others' recollections, and nearly all the stories eventually lead to the Revenue Man, and how Government absolutely ruined a craft that began in Scotland. The techniques were brought here by the first immigrants. (Technically distilling was probably first developed in Egypt. Traditionally, credit is given to the Scotch/Irish). Because the stories of this tradition/craft/lifestyle have been affected by the Government to such a negative degree, I feel it is a suitable topic for this forum. I don't think many people realize the sad effect of loss of culture to this degree.
I understand the process of creating "pure corn likker" and would love to see how I perform in creating my own. However, because it is illegal, and because it is a very hard process to disguise while living in the suburbs- I can only read about it and drink from the Licensed Distillers.
>no offense to anyone, but i will be deleting anything that aint about whisky on this here thread.
might seem trivial or stupid to some, but i sincerely have a big interest in moonshining/distilling.<
