The Danger in Great Inequality

6:36 AM


      So many talk about the need to protect out freedoms from over-reaching government institutions. However, overly powerful individuals don't solely come from monarchies, supreme court positions or dictatorships. 
     The following is from an Apostolic Circular issued by the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve in 1875:

     “One of the great evils with which our own nation is menaced at the present time is the wonderful growth of wealth in the hands of a comparatively few individuals. The very liberties for which our fathers contended so steadfastly and courageously, and which they bequeathed to us as a priceless legacy, are endangered by the monstrous power which this accumulation of wealth gives to a few individuals and a few powerful corporations.”

    Hi- I was reading your homeschool curriculum and schedule and was wondering where you live to have a homeschool gym class offered? We are trying to plan a move where there are more homeschool friendly options.
    Thanks!
