back after a few weeks abroad may be trying to open eyes. Press and television seems to have forgotten crimes, invasion, and recent college shooting draws one hundred million food boxes to hundreds of different brands in favor of presidential debates. I had to ask.

“Professor, perhaps you can enlighten me on these debates between the candidates of the Republican and Democratic 2008 presidential election. I keep confusing television programs like American Idol, Lost, Doctor Phil” Fox News “and the man with the famous cable debate, they all share common features with the quality looks like bad posture comedy, improvisation and bad touching. I can not tell one from another! “

, while the teacher is never condescending or patronizing, I never miss an opportunity to enrich context of debates, exhibitions, or just study.

I smiled and said:

“Look, debates are always taken, they are a byproduct of freedoms, as far as 1760 or approx. Most were informative and not devoid of meaning and philosophy. They Unfortunately, we will see, nor hear, never! “

” Well, Professor, but be transformed, it will be useful and informative session before millions of TV screens in a nursery school exchange pathetic attempts against not only intellect, but also affects the disposition healthy digestion and good health Instinct “

The professor stressed

library on one side of the great historical library and said:

” There were many instances in history when Popular debates between the candidates debate, which led to large sections of the working age population, these debates have created an atmosphere in which basic principles, ideas and situations in which a thorough discussion and in most houses, several decisions were wise, so is disappointing to hear the moderator ask things like: “If your house was attacked by termites in the uniform of a foreign country? This nation of the bomb “or” What are your thoughts on health care if the entire U.S. East Coast is flooded and all first aid stations are under water? “

I laughed.” Professor “said,” I wonder why these debates are not limited to a single object at a time. We have enough of waiting tasks that they could be held daily until election day debate on how health, social security, immigration, government corruption, corruption in other places, the separation of church and state when and if abortion, gay boys and Girls, Infamous Patriot Act, pollution, and are always popular in Iraq and Iran? “

The professor nodded.” Good question. There have been cases where the debate because you provided, is held on a specific topic. Back a few years, Republicans Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, John Adams and holds forth against federalist country to protect! civil rights were violated under the Law of the riots of 1798 and Alien Such implementation has long been forgotten, “

professor raised his hand and said:

” Republicans have already mentioned are not Republicans today, even federalists of thoose day has nothing to do with the Democrats today. Do not forget our two people who have grown from a common source and gradually increased while the more distant years later when they again share common goals. “Debate” would be good to review these changes and stop to talk to each other as if they were enemies of decency, patriotism, low calorie blood Marys “

Q

I smiled and the teacher:

“I see the debate this week? “

” Are you sure you mind? And miss another episode of Perry Mason? “
