by the way, i looked at the MASA website from your link – they not only have sushi – they have UDON and YAKISOBA. those are good japanese noodles with beef, chicken or seafood toppings with veggies. yes, those dishes are cooked.

it’s really sad, that afterall these modern innovation that has been invented, men going to the moon, living in the new millennium… ignorance and hatred still lingers and it gets passed onto the young minds. why can’t we all just get along?

I’m don’t hear too much of the crazy fear stuff here in Atlanta, but my friends out in the suburbs and the country say they hear a lot of it. Just amazing…. Hopefully, all of these nuts will chill out after a few months.

The Obama fear is, uh, frightening. I’ll continue to say it: People are crazy.

And I’ve got that Newsweek issue next to my favorite chair at home. I glanced at it and thought the same thing as you – it is a little book.

It’s interesting that you hear “fear” about Obama from adults and children in TX. Here in NYC, all I hear is joy. In fact, just this morning, I did my weekly Tuesday Bible study with 8 middle schoolers from an elite private school uptown. I had them write down something that gives them hope. (It was a Bible study, I wasn’t even thinking about the political scene–but they were!). 7 out of 8 of them wrote “Barack Obama” to answer that question. I asked why Barack gives them hope, and they answered with things like “because we don’t have to be afraid of the country getting any more messed up” and “he’s gonna fix things.” I think if these kids met the TX kids you describe here, they would be very confused about the fact that they “fear” Barack Obama!

Locally, and not just stuff that is reported on the news, I hear of a lot of fear of the Obama presidency. Such is life in a red state I guess. A lot of what I hear is coming from children, and Iâ€™m pretty sure I know where they are getting their information.

It’s inherent in ALL human nature to saddle offspring with values and beliefs no matter how wacky, superstitious, or abhorent they seem to others.

Children would believe their parents are descendants of Zeus if they hammered into their heads enough. They’re sponges and operate on fear and words from authority.

And if the values and beliefs are perpetuated by a large enough group for the rest of their lives…they find solace in THEIR political system because that’s JUST THE WAY IT IS!
