Sorry, no his law degree means crap to me. I have an accounting degree, does that mean I could handle running the fiscal nature of government? No it doesnt, it might mean he's better equipped to understand some things but his "street smarts" have to come into play, not just his IQ when dealing with the public. There are a lot of people in the world that might do badly in school but be very smart...my husband is a great example of that. He was one of those dyslexics in the 80's that just fell thru the cracks and while his grades were awful and he barely graduated, I would match his intelligence against a lot of people any day. I do not equate where you finished in your class with how smart you are. Hell I tested with an IQ of 161 in the 11th grade but yet I flunked American Government (yeah, laugh lol) because I was more interested in flirting with the guy that sat next to me than listening to a boring old teacher.

No I dont think sex ed did more harm....why would I? Do you blame a mother who taught her son that killing is wrong when her son turned into a serial killer? Am I to blame because my child just decided it was really cool to cut her herself (not in an Emo way, but cause she thought it would be cool to have some bands name carved in the back of her hand) when we've actually had that kind of discussion and I've tried to explain to her it was wrong? Is it Ngdawg's fault (and I hope you dont mind that I use this example NG) that her child cut herself (in an Emo way) when Im sure they've had some conversation in the past about it? I think blaming Palin because her daughter is preggie is an uninformed choice to make. Now...do I believe in abstinence only education? No, but I dont think its to blame for her child being with child.

Yes I am not a moral conservative....and I think the governement (and religion) should stay out of my bedroom.

Like I said, there isnt anyone I agree 100% with. Abortion...Im def pro choice, but even I have a limit. I had an abortion 21 years ago, at the clinic I was with women that were there for their 7th and 8th time.....I do not agree with abortion as a substitute for the pill.

As for Bush Jr, I was just so glad to get clinton out of office, AND I was younger and had been pleased with is father....2nd term has pretty much been a dud.
