Let Freedom Ring

Hobbled Wife reports on the following discussion with the kiddos.

I told them we'll vote this afternoon. They were none too happy about it. We did have a very educational discussion about the different jobs of President, Governor and Mayor, and what a City Council is. I fear we have a budding Republican-- Bones [aka "the Dude"] was not at all happy that the Mayor/City Government can tell builders where and what to build in a park. (paraphrasing quote here....) "They're taking away their freedoms. You know "freedom" is making choices. If the government tells the builders what to do, the builders don't have their freedom." Yikes.


Ahh, their grandfather would be so proud. (Paternal grandfather that is - Maternal grandfather will probably ask that the Dude be sent to a re-education camp.)

********

Update: The Hobbled Wife wanted me to make this point:

The "freedom" thing is a kindergarten speak concept-- along with "power" which is things the kids are good at. Dude says his "power" is swimming, playing soccer, reading and something else....
