I read the Ministry news today. I wish I was allowed to comment there still; but I guess it's okay. Other people say what I would have said, so it's not too big of a deal.
The story from yesterday really bothers me. I think it's so sad that Michaela Watson has been brainwashed to hate Muggle-Born wizards. Would she hate Julia then? Would she hate Julia if she didn't know Julia was Muggle-Born?
Would Michaela automatically hate me?
It's depressing to think that someone could hate me without even knowing me.
I've seen people brainwashed in the other direction as well. I'm guessing some rebellion children are being taught that all pureblood wizards are bad.
I wish we could learn to give people the benefit of the doubt.
In other news, I'm going to change the name of this site. I feel weird saying I'm part of Dumbledore's Army because it's not really true. I WISH I was part of that, but I'm not.

A wise man once said, that up until a certain age children are copies of their parents. Yes, it is horrible, and yes, it wrong to teach a child what little Michaela has been taught, but she's young and there is hope for her. That is assuming we win this war.
Ah...
Isaac's looking over his shoulder and he wants me to say that he said the same things at that age and he grew out of it.
Alex, you're right, it is horrible. I wish I could help that litle girl.
Also Alex... You don't have to change the name of the site if you don't want to. This war is affecting you too, and you're trying to help in whatever wa you can. To me, that makes you an honary (spelling?) member of the DA.
SC Mather: I guess you're right. If a child believes something now, it doesn't mean they'll believe it forever. That makes me feel better. Tell Isaac I'm glad he grew out of believing that type of stuff.
Mia: Thank you! That's very sweet of you to say. I would love to imagine I'm an honorary member.

Please be nice to each other, even if you disagree with what the other person is saying.
If you suddenly feel possessed by a futuristic Muggle, PLEASE go to the OOC section to the right.
