Re: Are You Tired of He said, She said????
In today's world of media coverage, Lincoln wouldn't have stood a chance. He was homely with a squeaky voice. Anything of substance he would have had to say would have been tossed aside for his appearance, his liberal viewpoints (and he was liberal for his time), his depression.
I'm doing my best to teach my daughter to look at what is really being said, to ignore the drivel that has nothing to do with the issues she feels are important, to weigh what is being said by everyone carefully. Hopefully, when she has children, she will do the same. I'd like to think that if enough people did this we'd get politicians this great nation deserves but I'm not convinced. I kind of gave up on the concept when I first learned about Adlai Stevenson and found out Americans picked an Eisenhower over him but at least the hope is still there.
