I was very happy to have Mr. Sawyer speak to our class. He was so knowledgeable and he answered all of our questions. He was honest, fair, and he told us what he truely thought. Thank you Mr. Sawyer for coming to visit our class.

Now now Sic, I personally would enjoy seeing a post that exhibits your professional drawing abilites expressed in front of a class of confident students that have heavily questioned other politicos such as House Speaker Bobby Harrell, SC Reps Balentine and Haley as well as many others. I’m sure they would be similar. Hopefully I’m not giving Ms. Payne’s civics class too much credit…. ;)
In other words, Gov. Stanford’s communications director Joel Sawyer became a great addition to the guest list when he spoke to the class. He is a man who tells the truth and does not sugar code anything. He said honestly that he is on the same page as the Governor on all the issues presented to him which gave us a sense of security. Nothing against the governor, but sometimes it is hard to believe that someone with a lot of power doesn’t just make decisions without thinking of others. However, this man does. Mr. Sawyer conveyed the gov. as a good man in a truthful, honest way. This is the way politics should be, or at least something that should be done more often. Gov. Stanford became more of a reounded character of the state in my mind via hearing Mr. Sawyer talk the way he would to a room full of adults. He did an excellent job of staying on the high end of vocabularity and complexity in his speaking and treated Ms. Payne’s students with the same authority and knowledge as reporters.

Oh, and Wes?
In case you haven’t gathered this yet, Ms. Payne has invited these people to come speak to give her class a wider view of politics from a personal, yet unbiased standard. This means that she never excluded anyone from speaking that would give her class some view of the real, adult world of politics. As long as the guest is appropriate in manner, speech, dress, etc. they are welcome to contact Ms. Payne in order to ask to speak to her class. If you feel you can share something worthwhile then you are most definitely invited to come speak. But, do not complain about not being invited. In general, you are. Feel welcome, but do not be discouraged and complain about it because you didn’t recieve a personalized, handwritten letter.

“@Wes Wolfe – anyone can set up a blog and copy a bunch of calendars. Get a real job and maybe they’ll invite you.”

Bahahahahaha…

Seriously Wes, what the hell would you talk about?

The story you wrote in the Free-Times last year? Okay, there’s 30 seconds.

Then what? The day’s meetings and receptions? There’s another 15 seconds.

Add in your magical romance with Terry Sullivan and you’re up to a minute total.

Hmm… I wonder why you haven’t been invited.

Now that Robert Ford is suddenly acceptable, maybe this class will actually hear from someone with a little different perspective. Better yet, maybe they can go on a field trip to Mr. Ford’s district. That might offer them some “perspective” they’ve never been exposed to.

We would be honored for Mr. Wolfe to come speak to our class. We did our HW and found out that we did have guest speakers that are DFHS grads. General McMaster’s commincations director, Brad Henry, graduated from DFHS in 1998 and Bryan Cox from the SCPC graduated from DFHS in 1996.

T4,

How would Wes saying he’s the only person to graduate from Dutch Fork be a joke?

I humbly thank you taking the time to read my post and share how you feel. Most adults wouldn’t take the time to do that for a 17 year old. As a teenager getting ready to enter the real world where I will have to purchase my own car, insurance, etc., I know there are a lot of responsibilities ahead of me. I love my country, and my state, however, it is hard to be optimistic about my future. It seems like we have become a nation of people who care little for their freedom and who’ve grown too dependent on their government. I don’t want to trade away my personal liberties in exchange for a government that becomes a surrogate parent. I am not an economist but one day I might be. It still seems to me that the wording in the stimulus bill was left unclear with federal strings attached for a reason. Throw out the ideological argument that you don’t spend or take what you don’t have. Do you really believe that the money will save, create, and “stimulate” jobs in SC? Or directly put disposable income into peoples pockets. tuyShouldn’t we be striving to free ourselves from federal mandates, and not enslave ourselves to them? I may be wrong on what is best for our state at this moment, but I refuse to ever become a disengaged or uninformed citizen.
Respectfully SC’s Future
