So rather than do my reaction paper for tomorrow, I watched the debate, which I think Obama ended up taking. The hate that was happening between those two was very entertaining in its own right, and I thought the moderator did a good job (even if she had to battle against both candidates at points; she did well).
I was very unhappy (as were many people on my fb feed) when Romney basically attacked single parents in the question about gun laws. First off...what? Secondly...wow, don't be so condescending just because some people don't really want to get married. "IF WE ENCOURAGE MARRIAGE FIRST THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY." That's basically all I heard. And it was bullshit. Also, Romney's discussion of women in the workplace was less than comforting. Let businesses be flexible with the hours they give women (not really mentioning their salaries) so they could go home and take care of the kids and cook for their husbands! YEAH.
No.
I would write more about this but I really need to write this paper.
But debate was fun. Talking with Anisha about it and watching my fb feed blow up with statuses and comments made it even more so.
Also lol "binders full of women." It also has a tumblr already. I love the internet.
