Progressive Parenting
I was skimming through a post on BlueOregon about the peace rally when I noticed this bit:
Interesting deal…
…my youngest daughter had to be coaxed into going. The deal I finally struck with her was all about quid pro quo… She would come to the Peace Rally & March with me and I would go to the very last showing of her highschool’s production of Fiddler on the Roof later that evening.
To me it seems strange to equate attending his kid’s achool play with attending a political rally…
And speaking of that rally, I have to ask: what was the point? What was accomplished? Thousands of local folks oppose the war, but we already knew that, right? Yes, I’m cynical about it, but was there any benefit other than feeling good?

The protest did not end the war, so obviously there is no point and it accomplished nothing. Eh? What’s the point of any peaceful protest then?
But I do agree that parents should want to go to their daughter’s school plays without forcing them to negotiate.

Unless the child is in the play - which it doesn’t seem she was by the sentence structure - going to a school play is pointless.

I love blog comments. So cut-and-dry: protests are pointless, high school theater is pointless.
How do these people get themselves out of bed each morning?
