My mother gets most of her info from The View. She gives me, Sarah is going to make the polar bears drown. I tell her Gore’s movie has been discredited. She asks me, “what movie?” I tell her the name of the movie. She never heard of it, but will look for it. She says something like Gov. Palin is stupid. I tell her to watch the debate. She tells me debates are boring. I try to explain some of the real science on the GW issue, starting with simple stuff, like the place we’re living used to be under a glacier. Warming happens. I try to get into more depth & can tell her mind has glazed over.
She has already voted.
Sounds like thinking and examining the facts is too tough for her - she makes a great democrat.
Sorry for sounding disrespectful.
We can’t really blame the communist takeover of the school system for people of that generation being ignorant.
