I don't know how to not talk about the church to people. It's just part of my daily conversation.<br><br>3. How does the daily news affect your day? We absolutely never watch the news because we're too sensitive and can't handle it. If it means we're behind on what's going on in the world, so be it.<br><br>4. Are you for any one candidate for President? I really like Romney's political position on things, and I think he's done great in the past with everything he's worked on.<br><br>5. How do you teach your children how to be "smart" about who's who in the world?

My heart leapt a little when I realised you were broaching these subjects.<br><br>Religion: I'm part of the Church of England (ie, Protestant, but I was born and raised Roman Catholic. I married into CofE and am extremely happy in it. I had many theological issues with RC) My mother's side of the family are about 90% involved in Irish politics too, so I must have smthg of the political coursing through my veins somewhere.<br><br>Do you feel comfortable sharing your beliefs?<br>Absolutely, because I thrive on seeing and hearing people's reactions to beliefs.<br><br>How does the daily news affect your day?<br>I don't buy newspapers and rarely read any that I find lying around. Newspapers incense me because they give such biased views, driven by many financial and political factors.<br>I watch the news daily, but with a critical eye. I prefer to watch the shows that debate the news, like 'Newsnight' and 'Question Time'. Then you begin to see a rounder view of subjects.<br><br>Presidential candidate?<br>I'm quite oblivious to the details behind each candidate. It's not something that is being looked at too deeply in the media over here - for what reason, I don't know. I saw Hillary Clinton speak in a New York park for an open-air radio broadcast less than a month after 9/11 and the next day she walked the streets for Columbus Day with significantly less bodyguards that the mayor, and I was impressed with that. She seemed 'ballsy' and capable of geeing up the people. I admired her at that particular time.<br><br>How do you teach your children to be 'smart' about who's who in the world?<br>My girls are still very small, and your post has got me thinking about this point. It especially gets me thinking about my stance on the Royal Family. It's a thing I think about a lot, and I won't clog up your blog with it - but I hadn't thought how I might/might not filter my views down to my girls. So thanks for that!Amanda :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12942891521200360640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253176626122191419.post-79535165850204443072008-01-12T02:18:00.000-05:002008-01-12T02:18:00.000-05:00I tend to shy away from these things (well, politi...I tend to shy away from these things (well, politics anyway) on my blog because I don't like debating. I'm LDS, but I'm a Democrat, which puts me in a definite minority. I'm totally comfortable with those two co-existing, but I know there are many who can't fathom the two being compatible. <br><br>I'm not worried about offending people with it, but I just don't want to get into an argument. It stresses me out. I'm much more of a live and let live type person.Kellyhttp://thisterthaster.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253176626122191419.post-32263247345698005732008-01-13T22:52:00.000-05:002008-01-13T22:52:00.000-05:001.

I would have a hard time standing in line at the grocery store, turning around, and GQ-ing the person behind me, but as people see me live and ask questions, I have no trouble.<br><br>3. I don't watch the news often. Usually only when something I am really concerned with is going to be on. Dirk loves the news and tells me what he found interesting that day though. I don't like to hear gory details, but I do think we need to know what is happening in the world. <br><br>4.Sorry, I don't follow American politics at all. I know the current prez, but don't know all the people running.<br><br>5. Slowly, gently, and without frightening them. I don't want them to be affraid of strangers, but I do want them to know they have to be cautious.Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05618406109447187879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253176626122191419.post-85672236402280751922008-01-16T12:32:00.000-05:002008-01-16T12:32:00.000-05:00Serious subjects you have posted on today, Miss Mi...Serious subjects you have posted on today, Miss Michelle!<br><br>Politics to me are harder for me to talk about than religion and for me, I don't usually blog about either-- but especially not politics. <br><br>(I am a Catholic Dem, if anyone is wondering!)<br><br>That being said, this may change with the historical significance of this year. <br><br>If others write about these topics on their blog I say that is their right-- it is their blog! :)carlonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253176626122191419.post-2235903032693151132008-01-16T12:36:00.000-05:002008-01-16T12:36:00.000-05:00that may change is referring to the blogging about...that may change is referring to the blogging about politics not referring to changing my religion or party!! <br><br>(realized it wasn't clear after i posted it!)<br><br>:)carlonoreply@blogger.com
