    Default A Father Daughter Talk

    A young woman was about to finish her first year of uni. Like so many others her age she considered herself to be a very liberal Socialist and was for distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Liberal, which she expressed openly.>>

    One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes on the rich & more welfare programs. In the middle of her heartfelt diatribe based upon the lectures she had from her far left professors at her school, he stopped her and asked her point blank, how she was doing at uni.>>

    She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 grade average, and let him know that it was tough to maintain. That she had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many uni friends because of spending all her time studying. That she was taking a more difficult curriculum.>>

    Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Mary.">>

    She replied, "Mary is barely getting by", she continued, "all she has is barely a 2.0 grade average" adding, "and all she takes are easy classes and she never studies." But to explain further she continued emotionally, "But Mary is so very popular on campus, uni for her is a blast, she goes to all the parties all the time and very often doesn't even show up for classes because she is too hung over.">>

    Her father then asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 grade average and give it to her friend who only had a 2.0." He continued, "That way you will both have a 3.0 grade average and certainly that would be a fair equal distribution of grade average" The daughter visibly shocked by the fathers suggestion angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really hard for mine, I did without and Mary has done little or nothing, she played while I worked really hard!">>

    The father slowly smiled and said, "Welcome to the Liberal Party.">>
