(my bold)

.19 [538] Honour thy father and thy mother: and, [539] Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

.20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

.21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, [540] go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

.22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

.23 ¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That [541] a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

.24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Silver lining:

Conservatives have learned absolutely nothing from the failures of the D.A.R.E. program...

Funny how "communism always fails on its own" or "is a failed ideology", yet is/was so significant, that it has to have it own special section.

Ooohhh will this be like the DARE program and actually end up converting students to support communism??

I know I learned a LOT about recreational drugs from school <3

As soon as I saw the headline, I said, "I hope this is exactly as effective as D.A.R.E."

I'm a GenXer and I have literally been fed anti-communist propaganda since I was a very small child. It's only in the last 20 years or so that I finally "woke up" and realized how absolute bullshit it all really is.

I don't think this is necessarily due to age. I think it's just that circumstances have made capitalism look so bad that you realize that the propaganda was exactly that.
