“the tragedy of the commons is the desired end?”
0bama said in answer to Joe the Plumber that day in 2008 that he favored trickle up. Those words said to me that he wanted everything levelled to dirt and to destroy, only to remake in his own image and according to his whims.

Even if she were 19 (as stated by most accounts), wasn't 21 the age of majority in 1961? Whether she was 17 or 19, she was still a minor.

The cupcake trees she planted still feed the herds of unicorns on Rainbow Bridge.
And on the anniversary of her death, bunnies hop out into the dewey meadows of the Kansas plains and form the immortal words floating through foreign things.”

Are you sure? My read indicates it is possible that the father may be other than BHO Sr. Very likely. I agree with the suspicion that Frank Marshall Davis, Communist organizer and friend of her father, molested Ann and got her pregnant, and that Obama Sr was a convenient stand-in.

We very often disagree & do so very strongly, but that is an excellent excerpt.

The kids started questioning things that their folks thought shouldnt be questioned religion, politics, parental authority, said John Hunt, a classmate.
I believe this is absolutely the most important thing which most progressives do not understand.
Raising a child is tough enough, without some outsiders trying to rile them up to question things which they are typically TOO YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED TO UNDERSTAND!
I have told all of my kids that you can ruin your life, body, get tattoos, face piercings, etc... AFTER you are out of my house and you have to pay for and endure the stupidity of your decisions - but until then, you live by MY rules! My second daughter decided she was ready to be self-sufficient on her own during her senior year - she did graduate as scheduled. After graduation, she was a party animal, drinking, drugging, etc.. But a little over two years ago, she finally realized that there was more to life than just drinking, smoking and going to the club. She is engaged, and has two beautiful daughters (wish she would have gotten married first, but I am not going to preach)! She has spoke to me about being an anarchist in the past and a liberal and realized that you have to know who YOU are and how to help YOURSELF! THAT is what is truly liberating, not just getting out of your parents house!
I have no problem with my kids questioning things and trying out things and deciding who they want to be - but I want them to do that when they are old enough and developed enough and free enough to FEEL the results of the decisions they make - in real-life terms! Not from the comfort of Mommy & Daddy's house!

What the...?!
"Stanley Ann Dunham (November 29, 1942 November 7, 1995), the mother of Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, was an American anthropologist who specialized in economic anthropology and rural development. Dunham was nicknamed Anna,[2] later known as Dr. Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro,[1] and finally Ann Dunham Sutoro.[1] Born in Wichita, Kansas, Dunham spent her childhood in California, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas and her teenage years in Mercer Island, Washington, and the majority of her adult life in Indonesia[3] as well as living in Hawaii.
Dunham studied at the Honolulu University of Hawaii Manoa campus, and the University of Hawaii Manoa's EastWest Center, where she attained a bachelor's in anthropology or mathematics[4] and master's and Ph.D. in anthropology.[5]
Interested in craftsmanship, weaving and the role of women in cottage industries, Dunham's research focused on women's work on the island of Java and blacksmithing in Indonesia. To address the problem of poverty in rural villages, she created microcredit programs while working as a consultant for the United States Agency for International Development. Dunham was also employed by the Ford Foundation in Jakarta and she consulted with the Asian Development Bank in Pakistan. Towards the latter part of her life, she worked with Bank Rakyat Indonesia, where she helped apply her research to the largest microfinance program in the world."
Is ANY of this true?
To: pabianice
What I don’t understand is why Stanley (the dad) insisted she go to the University of Hawaii. As a parent, I have to admit I wouldn’t advise my 18 year old to go to a university in a state so far away from home. Why Hawaii?
To: pabianice
My bad. Apparently, dad was already in HI.

i think if i hear obama use the phrase, ‘you gotta break a few eggs to make an omlette’, i’d be headed for the door.
