doing a little reading
so i've read two chapters in America (The Book), Democracy Before America & The Founding of America. i'm trying to make this book last because i could probably just sit down and read it in a day. so i'm only reading a chapter a day. lol... it cracks me up that it's made like a textbook, complete with discussion questions and class activities at the end of each chapter.
One of my favorites from Chapter 2:
4. Look in the Constitution for an example of each of the following:
a) A check or balance.
b) A reference to black people as being worth exactly three-fifths of white people.
c) The word "erection."
d) The part that keeps Arnold Schwarzenegger from becoming President.
and curtis was looking over my shoulder and he got all excited when there was a picture of a Delaware license plate, that was until he read the caption: "Delaware's status as the first state to ratify the Constitution is still, 217 years later, the only thing it has going for it. 'The First State' replaced Delaware's previous license-plate motto, 'Fucking Boring.'"
Tomorrow - Chapter 3, The President: King of Democracy
:-D
