I'm sure your fellow soccer parents are interesting folks each with their own opinions, but I'm amazed that you're willing to consider that very, very small group somehow representative of an entire half of the political spectrum. I'm also more than a little shocked that you think BP teaming up with FreedomWorks and the Chamber of Commerce to brainwash the population with pro offshore drilling propaganda isn't a big deal and doesn't have consequences that reach even as far as the soccer field. Don't you care that there's a concerted effort by the rich and powerful elite to manipulate you into believing things which are not true, like offshore drilling being safe and necessary to keep your SUV running?
