Marla Krohn a mother who is a former actress. You have got to be carefully taught. The boy is good but has been indoctrinated and rehearsed by professionals and is being put on display. Clearly exploiting young people for politcal reasons. He may be good at in and like but he is a child actor.

The Country is not worth it anymore.

No, I have a mind of my own. To have anything less is nothing worth of envy.

It is nothing like Michigan or California.

I would like to believe that is the majority of the cases, and that said majority wasn’t driven by labor attorneys who ran out of unions to bust. Those people being the kind that look for every exception to hiring a citizen.

Yes, you have some point – but the abuse of the law seems to exceed honest use of the law. Some of the marginally blue/red states have people who just do not have the means to move but have the talent. They’re the ones whom are seeing the “Must have [x] years of experience in [product with less than x years existence]” notices. The citizens get called in to clean up the inevitable problems.

I teach in a public school and see a lot of children with great potential. Not all or even most will have this young man’s natural sense of expression, but there is great potential waiting to be released in our young people.

I will also readily admit though (and it’s very evident in the classrooms), the difference in motivation in our children is also becoming more pronounced as home environments have changed in the past few years. Accountability and consequences for their own actions are being increasingly pushed to the side as many parents don’t want their children to ever have to experience failure or hardship. Consequently, there is an ever increasing section of future generations that expect to be saved or have everything fixed and made easier for them.

This teenager is one that gets it. He also seems to me to be still all kid. I’m guessing that amongst his beliefs as to personal responsibility, there is also a video game or crush on a girl or two.

As it should be.

Some of you people have your priorities seriously out of whack.

Now “conservatives” are practically born dressed in suits and ready to be shipped to Washington. I hope somebody will finally tell this kid to shove his book and go get a job. Or better yet have some childhood first.

This has got to be the dumbest comment I’ve read this year… and I’ve read a LOT of articles about dumb people doing dumb things, and lots and lots of dumb comments.

So being an author is not a job?

Awwww. Well, sethstorm, maybe this new era of Obama and big majorities in both houses of Congress will make your area a vibrant place pulsating with growth and headed for full employment.

Want to make a bet with me as to what your area will look like after Obama’s term?

Yeah, just look at what the dem controlled congress has done in just two years.

A little envious, eh?

Sort of the same thing here, but then I saw what the Right was doing to my neck of the woods with regards to economics.

Something about trade being used as a weapon against my area comes to mind.
