Democracy?

This is what I feel about this year's election


I use to want to let Alessandra, the four year old I babysat for, dress herself in whatever way she felt like. Her mother would say, no Laura, that will cause confusion. Put to outfits on the bed for her, one's you approve of, and let her pick from those two. That way she will think she has a choice, but really, you are making the choice for her.....

The logic behind Mrs. Grambs' idea was this...

When you allow a child to dress himself in the morning, you give him a choice between the red shirt and the blue shirt. This way, you create an illusion that he is allowed to dress himself, but in actuality, you have controlled his choice so he won't get out of hand, ending up with a mismatched outfit that was the result of his creative choosing.....


who is to say his creative outfit is wrong? You are. the power to be. Who is the reason more parties have not been able to formulate in this country?

think about that....

and while you are at, think about becoming a socialist...
