Opus 2014-247: New Terms: LIV

They are everywhere.  The country is being run by Low Information Voters, LIV.

I have a young math teacher on my team.  I say young.  She was student at the school when I started teaching there.  I enjoy working with her.  She seems to have her head screwed on straight and has some standards.  She surprised me last year when she mentioned she had not read a book in years.  Any book.  Nada.

In a discussion this week she mentioned that she had been asked a question about the governor and had to confess that she did not even now who the governor of California was.  This is a college graduate who is teaching young people.  She is one of the better ones and she doesn’t read or know the governor of her state.

And she has one vote, just like me.

There are times when I wonder if our republic will survive.  There are times when I wonder if it should.

  1. In a "free" society, it seems totally immoral to me NOT to stay reasonably informed.

    1. I guess that is part of the difference between liberty and freedom.

      Grace and peace.
