I fear for our son who, at 17, is completely unaware of what is going on around him

why is he unaware? why aren't you filling him in? we have kids at home who are 20, 17 and 14 and each one of them knows EXACTLY what is going on and are vocal to their friends about it. We live in NoVA, and I work in DC, so i will be here in Sept.

Basically there are two types; One type so brain washed that they will not believe the truth no matter how it is presented. The other type so cynical that they don't believe that nothing can be done about the national situation no matter how they vote. Sadly, this group has empirical evidence on their side. The idea that we are not filling them in is well ridiculous.

why is he unaware? why aren’t you filling him in? we have kids at home who are 20, 17 and 14 and each one of them knows EXACTLY what is going on and are vocal to their friends about it. We live in NoVA, and I work in DC, so i will be here in Sept.

Same here. We’ve been lecturing our kids on personal responsibility since they were old enough to understand. All through high school, they reported to me the fallacies told to them by some of their liberal teachers. They also told me which of their teachers were conservatives and how they were able to recognize them. My son bought me a “hammer and sickle Obomunism” T shirt for my birthday. He bought one for himself and wore it to the union grocery store (at which he has worked for over 7 years) on his day off.

I think we did a good job.
