Kids are innocents when compared to "more developed" adults, and it is within that context of innocence that kids shine ethically.
When they answer "yes" while explaining the basis for some one of thir ethical decisions, that is when you might come to realize how adults screw up kids.
As an example, I was watching some kids for their mother (all close relatives) and one of them noted a "Bush" sign (this was 1990) in my front yard as we climbed in the car for a lunch at McDonald's. As the car door closed, it was the ten year old boy that innocently asked: "You're not voting for Bush, are you?"
Given that, I thought for a tense minute or so and then I asked, while driving: "Do you kids know the difference between right and wrong?"
Without hesitation, they both answered "yes" and -- given the Clinton/Gore record -- it was a most interesting experience -- it was a great opportunity to "talk."
Just to be really clear here: YOU were the one teaching them what was right and wrong in that case. They didn't come up with it themselves.
Without hesitation, they both answered "yes" and -- given the Clinton/Gore record
Two things. I'm pleased that you were a republican partisan enough to have your Bush signage up two years prior to the 1992 election. Perhaps I'm amused that you did'nt take down your two year old signage.
The other thing I find remarkable is that the ten year old depicted in this story was politically informed enough to discuss the record of an Arkansas Governor and Tennessee Senator.
