Re: "privatized" food, the government can tell you whatever they want is safe but that doesn't mean it is. A lot of food is of totally unknown origin but they say it's just fine anyway. Even places like Whole Foods get some of their products from anonymous Chinese distribution that can't be tracked at all and no one knows where it came from.
Basically the point is that the world is a lot weirder than people like to believe. New evidence that the USA doesn't want you to hear is that wifi and cell phones in intense concentrations are apparently harmful because we started using exactly the EM frequencies that human bodies respond to. People can believe what they want on both sides of the spectrum. I think Glorb is wrong and I want to homeschool my kids because I believe I am a knowledgeable and rational enough person to do it and pretty much everyone I know (as well as other smart people) testifies that public school is exactly the wrong thing. Do I believe everyone is sane enough to school their own kids? As I said before, no. There are some people who have been so miseducated already that they should not have license to teach their children. Where to draw the line is the tricky part.
Also, the stereotype of homeschooled kids not having any social skills is pure lies.
Fluoride in water supplies has been correlated with Alzheimer's if I remember right.
