Ask Your Children How to Vote

Dr. Helen notes reports that children are telling their parents how to vote, usually with Obama in mind. She wonders why.

Maybe the parents attribute to childhood a pure wisdom to which soiled adults no longer have entree.

Let's amend the Constitution so no one over 35 can be elected President. Then we can all live in the paradise described in 'Lord of the Flies'.

I blame George Bush. Ever since they took Congress in 1994, the Daddy Party has governed like Hollywood's caricature of the American father. It shares responsibility for the infantilization of politics.
