Obviously the girls are hearing a lot about the election these days. I always try to stay informed and explain why their dad and I either disagree or agree with the candidates. It has actually been very difficult to keep my political views off of this blog, because I really do not want to alienate anyone based solely on my opinion.
Well I was commenting that with both candidates taking such a middle ground stances on things and not willing to stand up and take charge that we might as well be heading for socialism.
"Does that mean having people over for a barbecue?" asks Regan. Well it does sound social doesn't it?
"No honey, it is a type of government point of view to make things the same for everyone (sort of)", I respond...not really wanting to get bogged into details.
"Well that seems fair", pipes up Rebecca.
Well John Mark can stand it no longer and decided to go with a grading analogy since report cards came home yesterday.
He tells Rebecca who got all A's that since she worked and studied hard in her classes, but not everyone was capable of doing that, or perhaps they were to busy playing video games or watching TV, and did not want to worry about school. the school has decided in the best interest of everyone, and to ensure that there are no hurt feelings to give everyone "C"'s to average all the grades, and no one will feel let out.
"OK, that just sucks" said Rebecca "I would hate Socialism."
"but can we still have people over for Barbecue?" asks Regan
