They are a bit political at M's school - but more about environmentalism than anything else. M told me she would have voted for the Green party, unsurprisingly.<BR/><BR/>Sal: Sometimes I think "evil genius" but then I take it back :-)<BR/><BR/>Clothes Horse: And yet you say "forced" :-) Isn't that the way of parents? Are you an only child by any chance?<BR/><BR/>Raven: Good for you!<BR/><BR/>Paper Doll: NZ has a fascinating electoral process. I've read a bit about it.<BR/><BR/>Seeker: It's too easy to take our rights for granted. That's why I'm a dyed in the wool feminist!<BR/><BR/>E: It's interesting how under the radar this election has been, even in Canada. Regrettably, we had the worst voter turnout EVER.<BR/><BR/>Y: Gotta vote to have a voice, yes?<BR/><BR/>Skye: I bet the dude is going to be a trip! I have a feeling...<BR/><BR/>Songy: Intriguingly, I can vote in the US election. So I'll do it on behalf of us both.<BR/><BR/>Hammie: It's hilarious that everyone's got the same last name. Intriguing challenge. And I did dress her in purple, as luck would have it!<BR/><BR/>GJ: Thank you so much! I love that you call Disney the big D. That is one scary conglomerate...<BR/><BR/>Cordelia: It sure is... And I'm going to your new site / add your blog link soon, I promise.<BR/><BR/>Matt: Do we get more for her if she's younger or older :-) (Hands get big fast!)<BR/><BR/>Dr. M: My husband disputes that but then he's not as smart as me :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-87925762729114559232008-10-16T11:16:00.000-04:002008-10-16T11:16:00.000-04:00She's a smart cookie and I bet she got it from you...She's a smart cookie and I bet she got it from you.Dr. Monkey Von Monkersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370062692837972451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-15003868070358394232008-10-15T22:17:00.000-04:002008-10-15T22:17:00.000-04:00I'm always up in peoples business about voting - I...I'm always up in peoples business about voting - I hate those people that whinge about EVERYTHING and then you ask 'did you vote?' and they reply 'nah!', to which I scream 'shut your effing head!!!'<BR/><BR/>The wee ones rather clever, of course if your ever want to sell her off Imelda buys on age not smarts!Imelda Matt - The Despotic Queen of Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02896845761664399184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-51487870619206222292008-10-15T06:08:00.000-04:002008-10-15T06:08:00.000-04:00mmmm isnt that a bob dylan song title? :-)mmmm isnt that a bob dylan song title? :-)Cordeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122688357475203772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-89993157404777224202008-10-15T05:20:00.000-04:002008-10-15T05:20:00.000-04:00Hi, Wakatimushita!

I have heard that in French middle schools the curriculum includes lectures on each candidate and the philosophical differences between the parties.<BR/>That certainly does not happen in the states.
