References have been made in the debates to the concept of "Cultural Pollution". My question is twofold:
1) Would the candidate who made the reference (Al Gore) please clarify what exactly "Cultural Pollution" is.
2) Would all the candidates state their view of the role of government in the raising of the children of this country vs. that of their parents.
Much of the hot air being wasted on this topic is, once again, being done "for the children" (tm).
Many parents seem to think, or at least the candidates seem to think that parents think, that it is the job of the government to raise their children. IMO if people choose to become parents, they should accept the responsibility of raising those children themselves. They should not let the Magical Talking Box, the Electrical Adding Machine, or godforbid the US Government do it for them.
