Sometimes even I am shocked at what I hear and am stumped as to what I should say. Recently I heard a child tell his grandmother who was speaking badly about the Obama administration and the policies her dislike for the majority of congress speak up and say "grandma, don't say those things or you will go to jail."

Why would an eight year old think such a thing? Where would he get such ideas? After picking myself up form the floor, I asked him and he said "I just thought it was so."

I took it upon myself to quickly educate him on the Constitution and the role of our elected officials. I took the time to explain to him that all elected officials work for us the voters and that it is our duty and our right to let them know if we do not agree with them or if we think they are doing a bad job. I essentially explained to him "We are their bosses not the other way around."

Now this boy does attend public school so that could explain his mindset, but hopefully I have given him some insight and his parents and grandparents will continue to reiterate it.

Now with all that said and done, we have what appears to be an intentional crash of a small plane into an IRS building by someone who has been speaking up against what he felt was wrong. The man who obviously had issues beyond disliking governmental policies took his own life.

What will the ramifications be for his actions? Well, I can only speculate that others who complain about things, like Obamacare, the IRS, Big government, government intrusion and so on may bring the little boy's fear to a reality.

We should never put the actions of one person into the same ranks as the rest of a group. That would be stereotyping something that most PC liberals lobby against.
