Ask Dr. Helen: How Can I Keep My Students From Becoming Little Marxists?
Chuck,
Again, please provide one little example of a conservative value that is not based on tradition, superstition or misinterpreted religious texts. You can’t. There is no logical reason to believe in so-called conservative values. They are the values of small minded tribal societies writ large, and woefully inadequate to the task at hand.
Thank you for reinforcing my point about your inability to defend conservative values using reason or facts.
Students will continue to ignore conservatives so long as conservatives refuse to employ reason.

PS – Here’s that link for your reading pleasure:

The city is named after the chornobyl’ grass, or mugwort. The word itself is a combination of chornyi (чорний, black) and byllia (билля, grass blades or stalks), hence it literally means black grass or black stalks.
Sometimes it is erroneously translated as wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), with consequent apocalyptic associations, probably originating from a New York Times article by Serge Schmemann, Chernobyl Fallout: Apocalyptic Tale, July 25, 1986. There, an unnamed “prominent Russian writer” was quoted as claming the Ukrainian word for wormwood was chernobyl.
