After writing my blog post about our Vice President Elect, and how he was treated by the cast of Alexander in New York, I was sent an email from a friend that originated from Maureen Dowd. She wrote about extensive background on Mike Pence, our VP elect. It was really well written and eye opening. Until that sad evening, I had wanted to go see the Broadway play. No longer!

I hope you would take the time to find it and read it yourself. Whether you like Mike Pence or not, it makes for good background information. You should be able to find it at topicsnytimes.com.

The article reminded me of some of the characteristics of some of our Founding Fathers, such as George Washington. I believe we need more like him, and others in our political system today. Those strong character traits of our first Founding Fathers are so important, we should consider teaching such character to our children, yes, even in schools.
