Hello everyone!
I was reading the excerpts from Kozol and Goldberg today. They are two distinctly different viewpoints on similar topics. It is rare for one author to openly say that another's viewpoints are hurting America. I disagree with Goldberg on some points. Goldberg's article made it sound like all liberals do not care about America. I do not consider myself conservative at all, but that does not mean I do not love my country. Just because I might be somewhat liberal does not mean I do not respect my country's heritage. I also find Al Franken amusing because I enjoy political satyr.
Random Thoughts:
Did anyone see the clips from the Republican National Convention? I cannot believe that Rudy Guilianni called Barack Obama too cosmopolitan. This is coming from the man who was the former mayor of New York City! I found most of the Republicans came off as very smug! I was offended that they made fun of Obama's work as a community organizer. Apparently they believe no one should try and help their community. Their own candidate, John McCain, is running on the slogan: service.
Why do we drive in parkways, but park in driveways?
Is one truly the loneliest number? Maybe it is zero, because it feels empty.
Remember to laugh,
James

I like to see you connecting the real world to our class. The conventions were great food for thought. And what did you think of the debate last week?
