Putting My Money Where My Libertarian Mouth Is.

Hi everyone! This is my family...

Yes, I have four children. All boys. An eight year old, a three year old, a 23 month old and a six month old. Yes, they are all mine. I have never been on WIC or food stamps; My kids are NOT on Denali Kid Care nor have they ever been on any State-assisted health insurance in any State we've lived in. EVER. We have always had private insurance for our whole family (and there were times between jobs where we had to buy that ourselves) My children have never, nor will they EVER attend public school, because I don't believe in public schools. I do not use Fastrack or IDEA or PACE or ANY OTHER State sponsored homeschooling program that doles out money, because I philosophically do not believe in that. My children are homeschooled on MY DIME, without being enrolled in ANY State program.

So, tell me please, what problem do you have with the size of my family and how I raise my boys? Yes, we drive a BIG BUS

, but it will run on recycled fryer oil when the temperature is above 66 degrees F.

Stick *that* in your Prius! We are not rich people. We just make choices that allow us to retain our "buying power"

We grow...

We gather...

We hunt...

We raise...

We are as self-reliant as our situation allows us to be, and I would wager to say we are doing pretty damn good. Now, see all of that above? And add to that an octogenarian granny who is somewhat memory impaired and needs me to remind her to eat and take her medicines.

Now, remember that I have NO FAMILY on this island. None. I am "Ma Bender" (and I have four sons and Granny Bender). I have NO siblings, NO COUSINS...NOTHING, NO FAMILY. Sure, I have friends, but they all have jobs. And the ones that don't have jobs either have kids of their own or can not handle FOUR BOYS UNDER AGE 8. Also remember that Granny has her own buying power. Granny likes her hair done every week. Granny likes her nails done. She has the cash, I am her caretaker! So, Granny WILL have her nails and hair done EVERY WEEK somewhere! If you want it to be your business, be nice to ME. So...you'd like to judge me? You'd like to judge my life? And you local business owners, you'd like to have us go elsewhere? Well, please leave a motherfucking comment, so we can spend our dollars elsewhere!!
