ezs note:  While Ms. Russ places importance in 'education' (read:  rote learning), it is not the only type of learning there is.  Ideally, children from liberal and conservative families must learn cooperatively and constructively.  Our future joke-of-a-president hardly qualifies.

ezs note:  Umm... okay... Please, don't get me wrong.  Even though I'm a Democrat, there are some areas which I tend to be a bit conservative.  But, dude, you've got a President who is an ever-psychotic and a Congress which, at best, is mostly complacent and, at worst, is a complete suckup.  Before the election I would say follow your conscience.  But this ain't no ordinary time.
