My kids amaze me with the million and one questions they have. With the election season upon us there have been a million more questions that they have asked. The funny part is that I don't know these answers. I've been asked all sorts of questions about past presidents and why would marijuana be good or bad if it were legalized. Who was the last president to get only one term and why? How come the election is so close, were they all close?
Little things begin to move you into why did Nixon leave and who was Ford? So you go into the entire system of who would be president now if the President and Vice President left office.
What was Watergate?
So why vote Democrat this and Republican that?
So many questions.
It has been my resolution to keep track of these questions and find the answers (which are going to spur more questions.) And this is the process of education for us all.
So much history happens in our life that it's not history, but to our children it is. We can tell them what we remember happening at those times, but if we, ourselves, knew why they happened it would be priceless.
So I'm on a quest to educate myself on the events that my children pick up on. Maybe by the next election I'll know what the heck is going on!
