Heh-heh!
I would have to agree that some children are naturally self-centered but I've found that some are more so than others. Maybe I should've said more accurately that children are more susceptible to "idealism" and are more trusting because they have not developed adequate critical thinking skills. Now when I am saying this I mean they are more likely to accept extreme views concerning the environment, feminism etc without speaking to the quality of those views.
I tend to view liberals as thinking themselves as being high-minded and even though I would agree with you in that I don't think such views are truly "idealistic", the liberals that hold them surely do. They see themselves as correcting imbalances and inequities and offer solutions that are far detached from reality. I would not be so generous as you to think that liberals are "ignorant" because I believe they know exactly what they are doing even though I believe that they are simply wrong.
The same people who think that comparing President Bush to a chimp is the absolute height of wit. I'm not going to lose sleep worrying about their delicate sensibilities. In fact, I'm going to go order a copy of that book right now.
Yup! Never "communist propoganda".
The teacher told me that a parent saw that book at open house and was not really pleased. His attitude was -- tough luck.
Exactly--tough luck!
'Bout time we stood up!
What the heck is that?
This was exactly the outcry her publishers were counting on. If liberals just ignored the book, it would die a quick obscure death just as hundreds of other childrens books do. Apparently, they fall for this baiting just as surely as people on the right do.
And you are correct. The "progressive" America-haters have one solution to deal with everything with which they disagree...
Outright REPRESSION!
It never occurs to America-haters that Stalinist repression will eventually hurt them, too.

I feel so sorry that this dolt issued from the loins of such a great man. Recessive genes at work obviously.

We have honestly encountered a curriculum in which bath-house sex is to be tolerated but conservatism isn't. What I like best about young people is that most of them see right through this crap.

I just checked Amazon.com for this fine tome.
It's rated # 523 in sales!
For Ages 4-8. 54 pages.
Not bad for a book that is so supposedly and strenulously despised and some are eager to "Ban"!!!!

This is for real, isn't it?
Irony has just become anachronistic.
Reality programming now appears to be the backboard against which our nightmare balls bounce.
I remember a time many years ago, it now seems, when you wrote your "oops opus" (my term, no offense) and I sincerely thought you were leaving, so glad you stayed.
