I'm frustrated with myself for being frustrated with people who have a different opinion than I do. It's just so irritating to think that someone with a different, and in fact opposite political view can think that way! Who gave them the right to think that way?
Most irritating statement I've heard today:
"I'm not going to see Farenheit 9/11 because Michael Moore is just too liberal for me."
Now that shouldn't irritate me, except that free speech and our right to think outside the government is hanging by a thread because Mr. Bush and his little monkey minions are running around making decisions that are in the best interest of everyone without even asking us what we want anymore!
Have you read the book 1984? Does it feel a little too familiar?
I want to ask my friend, "doesn't it piss you off that someone wants to limit what you can and can't see because of it's political content?"
But instead, I stammer something unintelligible because I simply can't believe he can't find any merit in going, or see why it might possibly be important.
God I piss myself off sometimes!
I swear I'm not even that far left. I was a vegetarian for a year in high school.. until I came back from a summer in the woods and ate a McDonald's cheeseburger. (and loved it.) I was a hippie in college for the drugs, and now am a moderate lefter, who always seems to just vote along the democratic line because it seems like the right thing to do.
Don't I just make my Mother and Father proud.
I guess that my point is just this: Striving for diversity and tolerence is good, but I'm just human.
And sometimes I want to punch a conservative right in the kisser.

Hi there, Just started a blog and filled in my interests among other things geocaching. I´m from Sweden and not good at writing english, sorry. Nice to see so many like "geo". Feel free to visit my blog, it´s in swedish but you can always look at the pics. Today is almost 85'F outside and it´s not easy to focus at work...
Have a nice day!

I met an awful lot of people who were going to vote conservative here in New Zealand. A few years ago I met an awful lot who were going to do the same in England. All of them were first time voters. I have started to ask why they want the conservatives in and have found that I rarely get a sensible answer. It usually rests on personality, hairdo or they shrug and say they want a change.???? They've barely entered the arena.
Some of the reasons given rest on money and looking after number one. You can't argue with somebody who has that attitude you just have to vote against them.
Let them talk and you will find out who they truly are. Idiots, cruel, naive or confused.
