If either of them got nominated, yes they get my vote, but that is it.<BR/><BR/>So how interesting hearing your take on this. I am avoiding saying that what - well I guess I am <I>not</I> avoiding it after all... What I liked was your take because of your age. (God I hated saying that.)<BR/><BR/>But that is what is interesting - because clearly you are not there to meet Usher. I loved your analogy to "brand" - especially the use of Whole Foods.<BR/><BR/>The people of my generation have created this monster. <BR/><BR/>Depth is a lost art. Intellectual thought- real intellectual thought and not the pseudo version is a rarity. Forget critical thinking skills... that would require intellect that, while it may even be present, is an unflexed muscle.<BR/><BR/>Critical thinking would mean understanding things and really taking a stand. And then that entails all sorts of other details and efforts.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it easier to shop at Whole Foods and support Obama?<BR/><BR/>Sadly- that is what many think.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.com
