We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we`re capable of.
I`m one of those that believes you can`t be one kind of a man and another kind of president.
The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There`s just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent`s voice to resonate in the children`s ears.
I hope we don`t ever just kind of become Stepford Americans where everybody is just kind of going along and nodding their heads.
I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there`s too much guilt.
I`m embarrassed every time I look a teacher in the eye, because we ask them to do so much for so little.
If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.
