Driftwood

While I was away, I had a student staying at the cabin, watching after things, being a general caretaker. No, he didn’t stain the deck like I keep telling people I would like to have done, but still, while his room was a complete wreck, the rest of the house was maintained. He even cleaned the kitchen better than I ever did.

He’s heavily involved in politics and talking with him is always interesting. It was a shame, though, watching him drift from a somewhat conservative standpoint to where he is now.

Me: Oh come on, when I left all you cared about was Obama.

Him: I wasn’t that big a fan…

Me: You completely dismissed every criticism I had, and now you’re using those exact same criticisms as the reasons why you no longer support him and have shifted to… I can’t say it… her.

Him: She’s an experienced politician…

Me: Well maybe since I was right a while back on Obama, I might be right in this case as well…

Him: This is different.

Me: Just please read Atlas Shrugged. Hell, there are at least 6 different copies lying around the cabin right now, plus I have it in PDF and MP3.

Him: Yeah, I don’t know. I hear that everyone who reads it ends up becoming a Libertarian.

Me: Nowwww you’re getting it…

    Heck, I was a Libertarian before I started reading Atlas Shrugged. Still in the middle of it.

    it’s too early to decide for whom to vote.

    Just show him Hillary’s picture as Gen Petraeus was testifying- it’s truly scary and very indicative of her feelings towards the military.
    I tried to get the Young SGT to read Atlas Shrugged. I believe his copy is floating in the Caribbean somewhere…
