| "I Hate John McCain!" |
So, I am watching the Chicago Bears deliver a knock out punch to the Detroit Lions this afternoon at a sports bar in Rocky Mount, NC. A little kid arrives with his dad to take advantage of a free barbeque buffet the venue offers. Their game is the Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens. They turn out to be Cleveland fans. Lo and behold, as their game winds down, Cleveland (as usual) screws up and turns the ball over. "Darn", says the little kid, "I hate the Baltimore Ravens more than I hate John McCain"! I turned my head in wonder, amazed at the pointed pontification of such an erstwhile astute progidy of politics. I thinking to myself, "This kid is just a couple of years beyond mushmashing Gerbers baby food product from the heights of a high chair. Already, he has received his indoctrination!" We all know that the very first place kids pick up on having any idea of the world is from watching and listening to their parents. For this kid, his parents have already pollutued his young impressionable mind with dysfunctional falsetto and turned it into a perishable product. However, there is one resounding probability that those educated enough to know the difference between emotion and logic, marxism and capitalism, propoganda and truth: The kid also spoke about how much better Mac's were than PC's! Maybe, there is hope for him after all? By the way, my game, the Chicago vs. Detroit game? I am very partial towards my beloved Bears and the historoicity of thir organization. However, when things go awry for them and turn a despised conferance opponent such as Detroi into a team with vitory on their agenda, I don't think, "I hate the Detroit Lions more than I hate Barrack Obama." Maybe the White Sox or the Green Bay Packers? But, no, this is a truer statement: "I hate what Barack Obama represents and what his political and philosophical agenda portends." When one has an education, not an indoctrination, one can deduce such logical distinctions.
