Kids Don’t Think Congress Has Their Best Interests In Mind With Their Grandstanding ‘Protect The Children’ Hearing::We’ve covered a few stories this week related to the Senate hearing on “kids safety” and there’s going to be a lot more in the coming weeks as those same Senators grandstand and yell about “protect the children!” and generally make fools of themselves. I think Casey Newton’s summary of the spectacle is about right:…
The point of the article isn’t to ask the kids. It’s to display that congress is doing such a poor charade that even kids, who are supposed to understand nothing, fully understands that congress is doing obvious bullshit.
the lesson that I’m afraid is being taught is that if we vote for our leaders and our leaders not only do nothing but act like they are or will do something just to get elected that voting is meaningless. I don’t want to perpetuate the thought that nothing will change so don’t bother voting because then nothing really will change.
