I don't disbelieve you, James, but if you've got a link I'd love to  
read it. It would make me sad, but I'd like to know.

I don't really expect them to know everything. If they knew  
everything, they'd be jaded too, that's my point. That teacher, for  
better or worse, got them excited. Excited.  He used the man to engage  
them because sure, he's a lot closer to their demographic, so I don't  
blame them. But they are excited about fairness and justice for all. I  
just don't see the downside. If the enthusiasm sticks they will  
educate themselves as they go along, one hopes. Take the Obama out and  
sub any of the others, that's ok with me.

I'd give me eyeteeth to see my 14 yo kid impassioned about the  
process. I started a bit younger with Sophie. Roy thinks I should  
probably not have taught her to "boo" any time she heard the name  
"Bush".
