I don't care what political side you are on, threatening to assassinate the President is a threat to democracy itself. Because the people cast their thoughts onto a ballot, and elected Barack Obama to guide and represent our country for four years. If you were to kill the president, you are telling the people who voted for him that you disagree with them, and the president. Find another way to get your opinion heard. If it were "Assassinate Bush" I would feel the same way. Our class discussion kept going.
My teacher then said that He knew, and His wife knew that He was supposed to be here at BYU-Idaho teaching the students critical thinking. And he knew this through his patriarchal blessing and prayer.
At this point in time, I was all tears, being held together by my sheer modesty to NOT cry in class.
You see, I have been feeling this class has been teaching more than how to write papers and be professional in writing.
Especially today that was brought to my attention.
I am in this class to become a better person, and to really find out what I believe in life, and what to do with the thoughts that I have. It's teaching me to analyze and to project my thoughts that were thoroughly edited into words.
How grateful I am to be living in a country where I can choose who leads me.
How grateful I am to be at a University that teaches me to be a better citizen and person.

My little princess is growing up...I'm getting a little teary eyed (I wonder where she gets that from?).
