While drinking my morning associate degrees online offee I stumbled across the following in the Boston Globe : "In 1743, the first recorded town meeting in America was held, at Faneuil Hall in Boston." from the Associated Press' "Today in History" feature. This is wrong. The first recorded town meeting in America was held on 8 October 1633, where the citizens of Dorchester, Massachusetts "ordered that for the general good and well ordering of the affayres of the Plantation their shall be every Mooneday before the Court by eight of the Clocke in the morning, and p'sently upon the beating of the drum, a generall meeting of the inhabitants of the Plantation att the meeteing house, there to settle (and sett downe) such orders as may tend to the generall good as aforesayd." From the Fourth Report of the Record Commissioners: Dorchester Records (Boston, 1880) While I can see not knowing about the Dorchester town meeting, anyone with any concept of American history should think to themselves that people didn't just sit around doing nothing for the first one hundred years or so. It wasn't as if Faneuil Hall was built and someone said, "You know, that building there would be perfect for our first town meeting." First Parish Dorchester is the oldest congregation in Boston and Dorchester also established the first public school paid for with taxes in 1639. The town set aside taxes received from Thompson's Island for the use of the school.

In my state, however, one needs to have a Masters in Education even to teach one's own children. However, I'm ambivalent about parents who might, for example, teach their children to hate. Although I firmly believe we have to be ensconced in a tradition, if I have to choose between fundamentalism and liberalism, I choose liberalism. Massachusetts gets involved earthlink browser n monitoring homeschooling . The kids thrive. Yet, is there a problem? I err on the side of the parent. Just keep them away from guns.

Skipping church and going out for breakfast - cheese parrot cage lintzes and swedish pancakes with lingonberry jam. Cleaning half my closet so that now it looks like one of those wardrobe books, with short sleeves hanging together and all the jackets in one place. It was 96 degrees here today. All the cats were stretched out in long furry lines, barely touching one another instead of curled in their usual pile.
