If I were editing a pie...Tancrado and Hickenlooper!<br />If I were editing a piece of fiction with 2 such-named politicians, I'd suggest to the author that it was a bit over the top.<br />But real life IS over the top.<br /><br />When I was 7, my parents took me to see Eugene McCarthy speak in his 1968 presidential run.<br /><br />Got me in some sorta habit I guess:<br />this past week I went to see Walter Mondale speak <br />(remember the Westiminster Town Hall Forums? http://westminsterforum.org/), and this--the importance of real people discussing real issues, civilly--was a central theme of his. <br /><br />In the Q&A, a high school student asked what young people can do to help the world.<br />Mondale said it'd be great if they'd get involved politically, but, he said with some feeling, politics isn't the only way:<br /> "Any honorable work you do helps everybody." <br /><br />Kinda choked me up--a politician who could use the word "honorable" believable, as if it were an everyday word, not some meaningless campaign jargon.Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-82487057916797503752010-10-14T04:53:40.558-06:002010-10-14T04:53:40.558-06:00"There's no money in green energy" i..."There's no money in green energy" is such an inane and silly remark that I can only wonder about the intelligence and the motives of the one who made it. Does "green energy" need fiscal returns, dividends, banker sized bonuses, or is it enough that we do our duty and keep the planet in good shape for future generations?Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-68806453392040244492010-10-14T04:36:45.796-06:002010-10-14T04:36:45.796-06:00Good for you for bringing your daughters.

I was involved in politics from a very early age, and it sparks a sense of social responsibility, I think.<br /><br />In my experience, a good speaker does not always make a good representative.
