Subject: CC: I'm going to back peddle here and agree about the pre-school. I have 4 small grandbabies and I see a BIG difference between the oldest 2 who I had the luxury of watching for the first 3 yrs while both parents worked. Both of these children could read by 4, the last 2 I didn't watch and the 4 yr old doesn't even know her ABC's (I'm working on it now) It's rough to get competant child care and even the piss poor child care providers are expensive so on that count you are absolutely right

's message, "It's not that I havea problem with others getting it, but I think all should get it.All mothers need a couple hours beak! Also, I think early learning is very important It seemed that the kids I know who went to pre-school have done better academically now. That is just MHO" on 19:52:01 04/24/02 Wed

To clarify... -- CC, 20:06:14 04/26/02 Fri
I did not mean that I necessarily staunchly support one party over another. It all depends on who's running. When I say liberal, that usually applies to democrats, but not always. We could say something one party has done to screw up, and then come out with something the other party has done equally bad. In general, I find myself agreeing with Republican stuff, though not always. Also, how you view a certain group of politicians depends on your area. In my area, under our democratic leadership, I have seen continual cuts in healthcare, charity clinics closing down, yet property taxes increase outrageously every year. I always hear how the city can no longer afford these things. However, the city has also spent nearly a billion dollar in new stadiums, and somehow managed to convince people it was all for the benefit of the taxpayers, particularly minorities. All they really meant was that it provided temporary contract work. We paid for those stadiums, but the owners got hundreds of millions for the naming rights of the stadium.
As for getting on high horses and judging people, both parties do that, but in different ways. Republicans pretty much say liberal democrats are immoral, and liberals try to make conservatives politicians out to be small-minded and old-fashioned.
If this was like, the first half of the century, I would be more of a democrat. I think they did a lot of good things then, like establishing disability, Medicaid, desegregation, and safer working conditions. Once the government began doing that, though, it seemed to take on a new role. People expected them to pass more and more laws to make their own lives perfect. It seemed as if people started to look on the government as their Mommy or something. That is mainly the problem I have with the democrats (as I said before, I am referring to the liberal ones, which seem to be many) is that they seem to try and reinforce that attitude. I think we should not think too much that way, for it seems most people think they should no longer be responsible for their own lives.
That Supreme Court is a bunch of liberal Republicans, and IMO, they are crazy. I hated their ruling last week, protecting child pornograph in some form. I remember a couple of years ago, they ruled that cable companies did not have to block out pornographic channels that came in fuzzy. Even if parents had network TV, those channels would often come in fuzzy. I know they did on mine. Tell me that is not a coincidence, that out of all the cable channels available, only those would come in by accident. It would be no burden to order the cable companies to block it, because they would have to do is stop whatever it is they are doing to get it to come in, anyway.
