I couldn't say what what my political leanings are - never thought about it.<br /><br />My disappointments in the debate in the US are is they're quite simplistic. Using people like Steven Hawkins as an example of failure -suggesting he wouldn't have survived under the NHS (National Health Service) while he obviously has, and volubly says so, and personally, knowing I wouldn't be here either if it wasn't for the NHS. <br /><br />It's the dishonesty of the US far right, the fear they attempt to spread, and that people fall for it that gets me. And that they get away with it.<br /><br />I'm cool with freedom of speech. I'm not cool with it being abusedWheeliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798837094383674273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985919409069011192.post-77520453790301455452009-09-11T07:10:51.497-05:002009-09-11T07:10:51.497-05:00I have read this..just kidding. No really I did re...I have read this..just kidding. No really I did read it.<br /><br />I didn't watch the President's speech. I never do. I probably should but I always get so annoyed for the very thing you posted about. Everytime he (regardless of who he is at the time) says something I can already hear the hysteria. It irks me. I wonder if as a society we are really so devoid of the ability to think through a single sentence clearly. It often seems that most people just wait to be told what to think.<br />As for how our school handled it, we dont' have a school. My kids are 5 and 3 and I've started homeschooling my oldest this year. I did not show her the speech.<br /><br />Also, I enjoyed this post. You should do it again sometime.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317127422366741703noreply@blogger.com
