Professor Dove recently said to me:

“Who owns the heart and mind of our children?…  Everyone is telling them what to think and how to think.  Do you know what they are being told?  What are you telling them? “

And I responded:

I’m telling them that penises are poisonous and vaginas are haunted. It’s the only way – scare’m.
I hated that when I was a kid. Teen age boys have too much testosterone to be afraid of anything, or make rational decisions for that matter. And, from my perspective, fear was basically the only thing that ruled.

I remember a conversation that was being had where each person was stating the trauma that each of their boys endured while driving which made them suddenly start driving like they had a brain. “Such bullshit” I remember thinking. I drove better than any of them and had never had anything happen that was scary and didn’t make me want to take more chances.

Ah excess testosterone… Sure, I rubbed a few things and got the car stuck once honing my tactical driving skills, but hell – you have to learn one way or the other and if I ever need to drive in a war zone or as a wheel man I’ll have some background.

I think kids will only have their behavior affected by people they respect. Adolescents emanate their idols. The big problem is kids respect people for weird reasons, which means they have their behavior affected by weird people.

Ok, all you idiots upset about the President giving a speech to the kids need to square it away. Are you seriously worried about the President of the United States sporting ideology to kids in a national speech? Do you know how low class and divisive that would be? Come on…

If you ask me I think the leader of our country should give an Obama speech at least once a year.

Now I understand – believe me. I wouldn’t put it past Obama. I was as hopeful as a spring chick after his inauguration, but like you, I’ve had the optimism beaten out of me – Obama letting the Pelosi Posy run roughshod all over congress. Let him encourage the kids though, they need it.

As for you Obama… Come on. That work sheet or whatever wasn’t too bright was it? Write an essay about how you can help the president?  Have you not noticed that your presidency (which resembles a campaign) has becomehighly divisive? What did you think would happen after forcing though that ridicules “stimulus” bill, bartering the cap and trade through the House, holding that carnivalistic Cash for Clunkers fiasco, and letting the hard left of congress write your health reform bill? Talk about tax n’ spend crazy hippy Liberalism.

But besides all that, next time you want to give a speech to students, don’t do it on the first day of school and not during the most unorganized time of the day – lunchtime. You’re really busting our balls man.
