politics and religion – two things NOT to talk about in mixed company

January 22, 2008 by shishnit

I’m currently taking a political course being taught by a House rep from a state not my own.  It’s like getting a firsthand look into the government system via him.  He shared with us that he makes $31,000 as a House Representative.  It certainly doesn’t pay to try to fight for new laws.  This class is changing me….it is a good feeling when education changes you.  It’s even a more wonderful thing to learn from someone that is “doing” not just “teaching” or reading from a textbook.

    Call me cynical tonight but the only reason he shared what he makes with a class of students is because as a House Representative it is public knowledge if one wanted to go looking for it anyway I believe.

    Sorry for being a downer tonight. I am glad you are enjoying the class regardless of what he makes! I am blaming my cynicysm on the full moon tonight.

    How are you?
