Actually, I didn’t even know she was still alive until I read this.  So, I’m thinking the answer is no.

That’s what I was thinking!  I mentioned my dismay at his comment and someone pointed out that he can’t stop her.  True, but he doesn’t have to condone it.  Giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe the statement just came out wrong.  Maybe he just meant he’ll be there for her when she gets her head on straight.  But it sure sounded odd……     

You are right, of course.  I also acknowledged that she would do what she wanted to do.  I guess my point is really that her father should not have made a statement at all.  It just makes him sound kind of unconcerned - which may not even have been what he meant.  Sometimes words can come across differently than we intend.

Clearly she is making a big mistake.  A lot of people have commented that she is setting a bad example for her young fans.  True, but she’s going to do what she wants to do.  So I am using this situation as a teaching tool for my daughter.  This is a good example of what NOT to do.  

My guess is that this is neither the first nor the last time this has happened.  I fear that there is worse to come.  I am especially dismayed that her father has (supposedly) said that he supports her decision.  

     

Not at all.  I’ve been known to vote for both parties.  I’ve also voted for a third party.   I consider myself a free thinker in all things.  But just because someone is old and feeble doesn’t undo the past.  He left a young woman to die, for cryin’ out loud! 

I had to read this one twice.  I couldn’t believe my eyes the first time!  I don’t think there is anything even remotely great about Teddy Kennedy.  Sorry, I can’t forget the booze, the babes and Chappaquiddick - especially Chappaquiddick.  That’s who he is.  I’m actually not a big fan of any of the Kennedy’s - don’t think any of them are particularly moral people - but this guy is just the bottom of the barrel.
