>>why in the world are we having them watch debates at the age of 13?<<
LOL, as if this had anything to do with "we". My son chooses poltiics. He wrote persurasive essays on why kids should vote in 5th grade (the last Presidential election). As a freshman in high school this year he ran for VP of the Young Democrats club -- the club he picked to join, I didn't even know they had one.
He told me about the No on 8 rally in my town this Saturday and asked to go.
For years he's wanted to be a herpetologist (he raises snakes already) but when my younger son was in the hospital for his bipolar disorder we learned about a boy, a roommate of my son, who was relased into junenile Jail because he had no family and there was no foster care or group home placements available. My son decided he needed to do something to ensure this never was able to happen to another kid. He told me he was going to be a politician.
He took it upon himself to interview a friend of ours who is State Director for one of our US Senators and he now has all kinds of information about what he needs to study to pursue this career.
He is a kid, he loves to play World of Warcraft, read, build lego.....and politics.
He doesn't see politics and politicians are negative. He sees this as the way to help others.
He explained very little about his association with Ayers...he only touched on some general things but gave no details as many were hoping he would do so as to make it clear what that association was truly about.
"... we like to think they have their own minds ..."
I take issue with this statement.
"It is right to be contented with what we have, but never with what we are."

I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure
Your son sounds like a wonderful young man!

I think that's fantastic.
"It is right to be contented with what we have, but never with what we are."
I agree with this.
