Having idiots around me is a hard limit. This house is all about education, being aware of what is going on in the world, and continuing to educate.......in whatever form that takes. Whether it is formal classes or just wiser choices in what's on the television. There is no way that any slave could live in this house and be politically unaware right now. There is also no way a slave could live in this house and keep their point of view secret, nor escape healthy debates on it. Just last night we were dicussing my major issue with politics, personal agenda aka the agenda of others that helped a politician get elected, versus my passionate point of view. Serving our country and the people in it. Seems simple enough however, most politicians seem to forget their mission of serving their country and it's people versus personal agendas. Which is why many of the statements I hear politicians make, grates on my nerves so much. Anyway, this is the first year I made a concious effort to make my president/vice president, decision based upon what I thought would best serve the country. Not on personal agenda. Given that we've worked pretty hard in this household to educate ourselves, and discuss all facets and devoured every bit of information we could find, we feel we've made choices we are more than comfortable with. Any slave that lives here is expected to make an equally informed choice. What that choice is, is her's to make. My only directive would be to be educated, and decide based on country, not personal agenda. Another thing I just thought of as I was doing the daily war paint. I would be a fool to think I had not influenced her vote, if indeed she voted the same as I. However, I think that is a huge responsibility on my part, to provide solid information as to why I feel the way I do, AND to push her to look for information and educate herself on the matter. Then, to make her choice based upon that, rather than just trying to please me or do what she thinks I want. As a leader, mistress, dominant......whatever the hell you want to call it........there is responsibility that goes with the fun stuff. This is one issue I want her to be an independent thinking adult, a citizen of the US, not just a slave and yes girl to LeeAnn.
