Transcends the petty schoolyard insults being thrown around.

The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade. The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.  I decided we would have an election for a class president.  We would choose our nominees.  They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.

To simplify the process,  candidates were nominated by other class members.  We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.

The class had done a great job in their selections.  Both candidates were good kids.  I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.  I had never seen Olivia’s mother.  The day arrived when they were to make their speeches.  Jamie went first.  He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place.  He ended by promising to do his very best.  Every one applauded.  He sat down and Olivia came to the podium.  Her speech was concise.  She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream."  She sat down.  The class went wild.  "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream."

She surely would say more.  She did not have to.  A discussion followed.  How did she plan to pay for the ice cream?  She wasn’t sure.  Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it.  She didn’t know.  The class really didn’t care.  All they were thinking about was ice cream.  Jamie was forgotten.  Olivia won by a land slide.

Every time Barack Obama opens his mouth he offers ice cream, and fifty percent of America reacts like nine year olds.  They want ice cream.  The other fifty percent know they’re going to have to feed the cow.

George Bush is finally leaving the White House, so at least we all win in that respect.

If Obama is offering ice-cream, McCain is offering a Coogee Bay Hotel gelato

Sadly, that's Pretty true, I must say.

Why isn't there a politician who just lets individuals pay for their own ice-cream or gelati.

I don't understand why people are so passionate about choosing the lesser of two evils. In the end, they're both evil, and even though there's no opportunity for real change, it's the sort of event where you make a rational decision: "okay, this guy's less evil, I'll vote for him."

We're still screwed over with big government for the next 4 years. When will the USA return to its minimalist principles of liberty? Never has Benjamin Franklin's quote been so revealing about how the current state of USA has been achieved:

"He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security."

Too many safety nets, too many safeguards, too much bureaucracy and control.
