One thing that I really found interesting was when he said that people take ideas out of context. He said that people have to watch what they say because others might twist them into something completely opposite. An example of this would be my English class. In class we analyze book after book and sometimes it makes me wonder what if the author only meant what was said and not some analyzed piece that we came up with.

I do not necessarily think that the parties are getting that much alike.  I think that they are making more and more compromises to get what they want.  

I believe that the reason we see faces and other things in inanimate and amorphous objects is because either we are either searching way too hard (over analyzing) or just to accustomed to the object we are seeing.  Many of us see faces in random things and I believe that it is due to the fact that we deal with many faces each and every day.  And since we are not all clones, there is room for slight differences and changes so when we come across two spots and a sideways parentheses we associate it with a face.  

Whether we think it or not, the way we vote trickles down to our gut-level feelings. People tend to rely on their gut feeling more than they think.  Whether it is something as small as not walking down a dark alley or or whether to go all in in a poker hand, it all goes down to what our "gut feels."   The way we vote is no different, if one does not agree with a parties principles, than they will not vote for that person.  If we feel some way about a candidate, ew will not vote for them.  We can do all of this research about a candidat, but if something does not fit or does not feel right, we are more likely to vote for the other candidate

I dont think that democracy and planning are two clashing ideas.  I think that they can coexist peacefully without the idea that either one can be an obstacle for the other.  

i find it interesting that the guy who created this foundation had like no life outside of his foundation life.  It is like his personal life and his life with the foundation merged ad only created one life.

I think it is funny how the fine that was intended to make the parents pick their children up on time backfired and led the parents to pick up their children even later than they normally would have otherwise.  They figured that they would pay the same for an extra five minutes by being late as being 10-15 minutes late. 

I think that it is amazing that there is so much of a difference in medical care between countries such as Niger and Sweden.  It's like they are from a time hundreds of years before.  

Moal dumbfounding.   I think it's interesting that people that live today think that so many things are bad but do not know why.  When asked the question "why is it wrong?" many, after a deep thought, will say I don't know...  It just is.  We live in a society that knows that things are wrong but not why

I think that it's ignorant of the way that modern day Americans think about how people give birth all around  the world.  It's crazy how different the medical care is in a country such as Niger as compared to America let alone Sweden.
