individualism for the masses

BK Marcus is an amateur political economist with no formal education in the subject.

He works from Charlottesville, Virginia as an editorial consultant for the Ludwig von Mises Institute and managing editor of Mises.org.

He is no longer a house husband, nor a faculty spouse, but he is still a dilettante and a layabout, at least in spirit.

"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."

Murray Rothbard

Why aren’t you in school?

May 21st, 2007 by bkmarcus

What do homeschool parents and children say when pro-schooling busybodies ask those imposing questions?

News from Hawkhill Acres offers some candidate answers.

Here’s my favorite set:

Q. Why aren’t you in school?
A. Why aren’t you in therapy?
A. Why would you ask?
A. I’m still contagious.
A. If I can’t take my gun, I’m not gonna go.
A. Head lice.
A. My religion lets me marry at 9 and I’m on my honeymoon.
A. Leprosy
A. Psychiatrist appointment.
A. I had to see my parole officer.
A. Court date.
A. My parents refuse to make me go to a place where I’m cooped up for six hours with 22 other kids my own age and completely separated from both the real world and the people who love me the most.
