It’s amazing how powerful words are. If we can but learn to appreciate them, we can achieve great thoughts, and great actions. I had to teach my 7 year-old about the “dumbing down” of our language in popular culture. She was taught at her preschool that everyone was her “friend” even if they were mean to her. Now she’s old enough that I can teach her that “friend” is an earned title. It’s not anything anyone can assign you. She has to learn that she’s empowered to choose her friends, and choose them wisely, because they will influence your life.
American.
It means something–well, it MEANT something. I think it’s time to be a little old fashioned and bring “American” back to where it was before.

I’m glad you take the time to teach your child. If you don’t the schools are happy to. I feel this is part of why we are where we are.
I came to a realization and got mad, then very depressed. Barry O is a much smarter man than I thought.
