Oh, I have plenty to say, and obviously I know one helluva lot more than you do.

I have things to do in the 3D world, Goofball, and I'm not going to waste my time in a futile attempt to educate you in matters of facts and principles that you would have learned in high school if you hadn't spent all your time doping off.

So educated yourself!! I'll start you out with a guide:

Read the works of John Locke, considered the father of modern Liberalism, and John Stuart Mill, particularly Mill's On Liberty. Then, read Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope to see how his ideas and political concepts square with the principles of Liberalism.

You should be able to get these books at your nearest public library.

It would take me far too long to list the various Liberal measures that President Obama has tried to implement, but he has had to fight an obstructionist Congress, hell-bent on seeing to it that his administration fails.

And in addition, he's had to deal with the horrendous mess that the previous administration left him, including the totally unnecessary war of attrition that George W. Bush got us into in Afghanistan.

And, of course, the hate-filled Songwrongers of this country who want him to fail for reasons of their own, which have nothing to do with his political principles, but more to do with the amount of melanin in his skin!

I was an eager kid in high school and I enjoyed history and American Civics classes, taught by Carl Lawrence at Seattle's Roosevelt High School. I even stayed over after school once a week to participate in a group discussion with other students on current events and politics, with Mr. Lawrence acting as our advisor.

At the University of Washington, in addition to my major, first in English Literature and Creative Writing, and later, Music, I took elective courses in Philosophy, Ethics, and Logic.

I recall reading the results of a national survey in which 4% of the respondents couldn't name the current President of the United States and over 50% could not name either of their Senators. Asked basic questions about the Constitution, they showed an abysmal ignorance of the entire document, especially the Bill of Rights!

Horrifyingly enough, this survey was conducted among college students!!

And things have gotten one helluva lot worse since then!!

I took responsibility for my own education. So YOU—take charge of YOURS!

GO READ A FEW BOOKS!!

Gotta go now. Company coming in a little while.
