If the recent bruha in Washington does't bring home the obvious fact that we need to change the process of government in this country I don't know what else would. Get rid of the two party system already! The "party" is over! Everyone that gets elected, even if they want to try and do things differently, has to play the same political game that has been played for decades. Nothing really changes, nothing gets done just shuffled around. Maybe it's because we seem to get the same sort of canidate? Unfortunately for the American people it is always the best money can buy. The recent "supreme" decision will only make this winding path harder to backtrack. I won't ask what they were thinking, because I don't think they were! Does this mean I have the same rights as a corporation? Like to put that to the test!
I was de-constructing the carefully chosen "props" during his speech and kept waiting for the pundits to shine a light on it during the Pundit Hour. The show I watched PBS never did. A media Literacy approach to watching TV can easily spot the harmful and deceptive manipulation of images.
He looked like a Ken doll. A carefully chosen Ken Doll.
too funny.
Thank you dearly for clarifying this point to me. I was recently asked to implement the Life Skills Training curriculum with a group of middle school students. However, i felt completely unsettled with the proposition. Intitially, I gave it the benefit of the doubt by reading through its Training Manual just to see what it was about. In some ways, it seemed quite benign and convincing. When I looked at the bibliography it uses though, I was replused by Botvin's self adoration. Every reference he cites is an article written by him. Duh? Wouldn't communities, school districts, government agencies think twice about implementing a program that is self-adulating? I searched and searched for criticisms for "lst", and let me tell you, you were hard to find. Luckily, I didn't give up. Now I understand more fully what's going on behind closed doors. At least, now I will feel much more comfortable possibly using the curriculum to turn it on its own three-legged self.
Shame on the non-profit I work for to easily grasp anything that dangles in front of its eyes. Shame on our government. Shame on the NIH. Shame on Botvin. Shame on us.
awesome!

Corruption is one of the defining traits of Christian fundamentalism.
