Is the Conejo Future Foundation biased or not?

In your March 27 issue, Stephanie Bertholdo quotes Pat Croner, an adult adviser for the Future Foundation Youth Congress, as saying, "The Future Foundation is apolitical, so this is not about taking sides or arguing the issues or standing up for the candidates."

Later in the article, Jan Iceland, an Oak Park School Board member and adviser to the youth committee is quoted as saying, "If we get good, ethical people in office, think of what it could mean to the whole country, what it could mean to the whole world."

Why didn't this unbiased apolitical representative say, "If we can keep good, ethical people in office"? Or is her assumption that only some of those currently running for the office are "good, ethical people"? My guess is she does not mean John McCain.

Also, I thought this is a seminar about American elections, not some utopian empowerment session on how to "change the whole world."

Last I checked, we don't invite the whole world to vote for the president of the United States. Not yet, anyway. Also, last I checked, these same liberals get very upset with a "police the world" mentality, but "changing" the world is the acceptable new lingo? Why is that?

Any conservative opinions being represented in this "apolitical" seminar, probably Pat, or are their "unbiased" statements just left out of this crack "unbiased" report? I'd love to know. Brad Donohue Agoura Hills
