And I am happy that...Well, you know, I am inspired. And I am happy that our country and world will be going in a new direction because of who we elected. But I HAVE to say this. I was horrified by the votes around this country for intolerance. In California they voted in favor of better livestock treatment and took the rights away from humans. I am all for basic decency regarding the treatment of chickens and veal calves. But the idea that people could go into a voting booth, strike a positive moral stand for chickens, and then do exactly the opposite for human beings, really leaves me breathless.

You have been a teacher, heck, you were my son's teacher, so you know what it takes to inspire children to believe in themselves enough to pull off something like that. Not only does it stir the patriot inside me, but it also reinforces my faith in our children.<BR/><BR/>I hope that every child and every parent in America gets to see that clip.<BR/><BR/>I say again, wow!Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845381303836434373noreply@blogger.com
