Rand Paul suing White House over NSA policies

71. I had a teacher in HS a long time ago

You never know who is going to leave the biggest impact on you. This was a guy who seemed like a dumb schmuck. He taught social studies, but mainly was there as a football coach. I didn't expect to learn much. And I can't remember his name, I'm sorry to say.

However, I still remember vividly the day he was talking about the spectrum of political thought. He reached his right arm far to his right and talked about American conservatives -- and other even more radically right. And then he stretched he left arm far to his left with the similar discussion about leftist politics.

And before we knew it, his arms had reached out so far his hands came together behind his back. And then have game a lucid explanation of how far right meets far left.

This may be the only thing I remember from that school year, but Coach was absolutely right.

And here's the part that is hardest for people at DU. When we have things in common with others we perceive to be distant from us, we SHOULD work together. I am just not going to agree with Rand or Ron Paul on some of the things they believe. But we should work together on the ones we do agree on. Just like my coach whom I underestimated, Rand Paul has more on the ball then we give him credit for.
