Now
class, the president has taken time today from his packed schedule of
very important presidential activities to take a few moments to address
you directly. Write three pages on why politicians are not ever to be
trusted. Ideas you can use:
Explain why politicians must be told what to do.
Detail why politicians must be watched continuously like misbehaving
little brothers and sisters.
Explain the corruption inherent in party politics.
Inform the president how he must use executive authority for you to be
satisfied with his performance.
Inform the president what you intend to do if you become or remain
unsatisfied with his performance.
Explain to the president ways he could ween himself from campaigning.
Describe the difference between personality-orientation and
issue-orientation.
Describe how image sometimes substitutes for substance.
Discuss the importance to politicians of changing the meanings of words.
Explain sophistry and how it is used in political discussion.
Look
for examples of hypocrisy within the president's speech today. For
example, if you are instructed to learn a second language, has the
president done this himself? If you are instructed to concentrate on
math and science classes, has the president himself done this?
Discuss the environment, your impact on it compared to the president's
impact on it. How do you clean up after yourselves?
Discuss why studying Political Science is for douchebags.
Discuss the lies or fabrications you noticed in this speech.
Discuss why there is a pledge of allegiance to a nation but not to a
president.
Discuss the proper uses of technology. Is it ever used to manipulate?
When it comes to schools, what do you think the best thing the
president could be doing right now?
Discuss
the "co" part of communication. Does that imply a person is both
talking and listening or does it mean there is a talker and a listener?
Did you notice the president blaming anybody for his own difficulties
or shortcomings?
How
can you use technology to tell the president what is on your mind?
Could you get in trouble for that? Is he your employee? Can you boss
him around?
Is politics a noble life-long pursuit? Why do people go into politics
in the first place?
What kind of person would want to be president?
Do
leaders really lead, or do they actually follow? Do they shove
themselves to the front of a crowd then pretend to lead it? Are they
attempting to discern what the population wants then bring that about
or are they shoving their own ideas down ever body's throats?
Did the president wear nice well-fitted clothes and does he have nice
white teeth?
Discuss
why it took so much time, so much damage to the environment, and so
much money to elect a president just to have him yakity yak yak all the
time.
Is it really necessary for the president to be on Television? EVERY.
SINGLE. DAY?
Will they make a movie with the president in it?
Does the White House belong to you? Could you go there if you wanted
to?
You do not have to limit yourself to just three pages, if you find
you're on a roll, just keep going.
