So they\u2019re on Christmas break. \u00a0Tonight they\u2019re having a night with the youngest that they call their \u2018Bro Night.\u2019 \u00a0They were wanting to know what movie to watch.<\/p>\n

My boys, enjoying the whole Comics genre, suggested the movie Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em>. \u00a0I asked them for an appropriateness appraisal. \u00a0They discussed it. \u00a0They felt there is language that\u2019s not appropriate for a 7 year old. \u00a0Then one of them quipped, \u201cBut then, it\u2019s nothing\u00a0he hasn\u2019t heard Trump say!\u201d<\/p>\n

When we were doing a lesson on Government for my youngest, the phone rang. \u00a0It was one of those robo\u00a0calls advertising a Trump rally in the area. \u00a0Since we were doing\u00a0Government anyway, I asked my 7 year old if he\u2019d like to go and hear Donald Trump. \u00a0\u201cUh uh,\u201d he said, \u201che\u2019s not kid friendly!\u201d<\/p>\n

I love kids.<\/p>\n

So please, understand that I, like most I know, were appalled at things\u00a0Trump said. \u00a0It\u2019s just that many are equally appalled at other cases of similar rhetoric.<\/p>\n

Likewise, when I see stories like this<\/a>, I\u2019m not thrilled either. \u00a0Because of 1980s Reaganhysteria, I\u2019m inclined to be cautious about the new version. \u00a0Nonetheless, I\u2019m not going to be blind about things that are legitimately concerning. And given the declining state\u00a0of our relationship with Russia, the thought that both of our leaders are reaching for more nukes does not make me sleep well at night.<\/p>\n
