Educational Opportunity

[Gaspar]

This election above all others is beginning to serve as a powerful educational opportunity.

Because of it's "Reality TV" nature people who don't usually have the patients or interest in politics have begun to watch and learn more about the different philosophies of each party and the intricacies, and consequences of the choices to be made.

My wife, 9 years my junior & a life-long liberal democrat, has been watching all of the debates and has gained an understanding of the candidates and what they stand for, for the first time in her life.  

No matter what party you affiliate yourself with I think this is wonderful.  It's healthy to question your own adopted philosophies from time to time.  It just so happens that she feels a bit embarrassed for aligning herself for so many years with a set of values that she actually doesn't agree with.

I'm sure many others have has the exact opposite epiphany, but either way this is healthy, and wouldn't have been possible without this drama filled primary.

Thanks Hill.
