There is actually a "big brother" type rule on the books of the Cal State University system (and other government agencies as well, I'm sure) that states you must turn in your fellow worker if you overhear them say something that may or may not be construed as "insensitive" or else you can be held liable for allowing insensitivity to occur.ninquelotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749880420446456422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-84412680413759607242008-04-23T10:51:00.000-07:002008-04-23T10:51:00.000-07:00Wait, who's the snooty constitutional law professo...Wait, who's the snooty constitutional law professor??

I think the bottom line is people just need to vote for who they like (or dislike the least, if you will) and since the rest is out of their control, they just have to focus on the aspects of their lives where they do have control and can make a genuine impact, and stop griping about the failures of the world in a way that helps no one. These Slate columnists just get so wrapped up in the "political game" that they sort of lose sight of the real issues and problems at stake. If Obama said something honest but offensive, then the problem isn't what he said so much as it is how people reacted (if they reacted at all, since it actually seems like liberal pundits cared more than working-class Pennsylvanians did).<BR/><BR/>Just based on my place of residence alone, my views on the problems of working-class Americans probably carry little credibility (although I did grow up in a trailer park). So all I can say is that I'm glad I'm not running for president.Little Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415022026000282965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-68659215183773893692008-04-22T18:00:00.000-07:002008-04-22T18:00:00.000-07:00LE, my friend.

But that's beside the point.<BR/><BR/>If you turn on the nightly news (mostly the cable magazine shows) you would see that everything has to do with "relatability"; how do you think Bush got elected for two terms? Other than that, I think most voters just vote down whatever party line they associate themselves with for whatever reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
