2 things

This blogger is definitely worth checking out. She has some interesting things to say. However, there are qualms I have with one of her posts, titled "What kind of President do we want?" where you can insinuate that reference to a President who shoots a gun and belts black whiskey is McCain. The other reference insinuating McCain is, "A person who never went to school past the age of 18, or a person who spent years learning how to gain knowledge?"

2 things:

1. Nothing wrong with a President who can shoot a gun. Technically, I would hope that if we send a soldier to war, he or she knows how to shoot a gun!
   
1. Also, you have to consider the state he's from and what is socially acceptable there: Arizona, lots of desert. Lots of back land; remember, think "Western life" in AZ in the 1800s.
   
2. You also have to realize that CA is lucky to be a) so incredibly diverse, b) have lots of suburban and city areas where shooting a gun is likely to hurt someone due to proximity. ("By 1964, California had surpassed New York to become the most populous state. One reason for this may be that more immigrants settle in California than any other state." Don't think many people feel comfortable with giving immigrants guns, plus there are lots of famous people who could be assassination targets by crazed fans...Hollywood)
   
3. ALSO, think back to how many past Presidents of the US shot guns (and drank whiskey) ever since George Washington and you'll find trying to make something out of nothing.
2. Carol failed to consider that McCain FINISHED high school and then went to the UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY and graduated in 1958 THEN graduated from flight school in 1960 and later fought in the Vietnam War (duh), where he unfortunately could not receive a law degree and not practice it like Obama.
   
1. Because all the men in McCain's family has a history of being in the military, it's no wonder that he changed schools whenever his dad was transfered to another base and, overall, attended about 20 schools.
   
2. Had he not even attended the Naval Academy and just enlisted and been drafted into war, that also wasn't scoffed at in the 60s and 70s. Education isn't as readily available as it is now, and not everyone went to college. Then, you could still find a decent job with a High School Diploma, and college was more of a "choice." It is arguable that college is less of a choice now and more of a "necessity" and assumption, esp. with the competitiveness of school and availability for education to everyone (immigrants worked hard to give their children a better life, no child left behind, financial aid, Affirmative Action, etc.). It will be hard to find a decent job without some form of a college degree.
   

1. In essence, this post of hers is whack. The End.
