You know..............My daughter turned 18 last summer, and I told her it was her civic duty to be INFORMED, and understand our political system AND her rights as a voter.

She watched both conventions, all the debates, and EVERY CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc, etc, etc, show, and lots of web stuff........

AND she made here OWN mind up about how to vote, and I was really proud of her for taking the time to become involved...

WHAT I really HATE is the fact that when she showed her pride and VALUES by wearing buttons, or having bumper stickers on her car, she was ridiculed by not only students, but by TEACHERS.

AND what is even MORE apparent, is that she is MORE informed than most of HER TEACHERS at the high school level.

She played a rather good joke on her LIBERAL government teacher, and man was he REALLY HONKED OFF. She got him to answer some questions about some really STUPID THINGS that were said on the campaign trail.........Now granted he was doing this in public in CLASS, trying to bash McCain and Palin, but my daughter turned it around, dumped some video of Biden and Obama to her phone, and when she was called on in class, and BASICALLY called a LIAR by him, she showed him her phone and asked for a public apology in FRONT of th CLASS.

He is an honorable man, and did, and told her he was sorry, and then actually THANKED her for being so informed.

Pretty COOL.

Later,
