That is incorrect, recall from my earlier post that I voted for W as the lesser of two evils. In fact I have NEVER missed a vote. I am aware that a person who agrees with me 100% is unelectable; because I realize
I am unelectable!
A lot of the time, we must do the best we can, and that means attempt to
influence the inevitable to make it more palatable. In my case, my local, state and federal representatives all know me..whether they want to or not.
I will also actively campaign for what I believe in. In the end, we all have to realize the only way to correct the course is to grab the wheel and get involved. I agree with a lot of Jamo's post...I consider myself a realistic environmentalist; I will protect the ecology but not put a breadwinner out of work to save a snail. Lastly, I think that America could stand a
HUGE dose of
'Mind Your Own Damned Business'. And yes, that counts to gay marriage. While I find it objectionable personally, I have zero issue with it as long as the colon cowboys stay to their side of the rectum rodeo and leave me alone in heterosexual bliss.
