XPOLITIX

You might note a drift away from political rant. I was boring myself with it. And on top of it, all the characters in our continuing drama keep repeating themselves. I think that I am going to take it to the streets. I have my hat and my bumperstickers. Besides, my links to the right (actually, they are all to the left except Sully) say it all a lot better than I do.

I do not mean I am going to stop talking about the shit that goes on from time to time. I am just not going to get further consumed by it. Besides, by this time, I have probably alienated all my friends who are not aligned with my side of the argument. I have cleared the room; they either buzz over the stuff or have quit reading me completely.

I have felt good about venting though. I have spent a long time in business and personal venues where 'outside issues' are not discussed; and for good reason. Somehow this became ME and not a matter of process. So, now I have learned that I can emote and carry on and be as intolerant and fixated in my political affairs as anyone else and the world will not fall apart. A friend noted that I had said some outrageous things and I was pleased. I didn't say them to be outrageous but it was nice to be viewed that way rather than being merely eccentric.

While I am veering, I will probably stick with stuff that is more funny than sad, amusing than disturbing, and I will continue to stay away from the horrifying. I already have set that one up. There is a lot of horror out there and I have kept it there. I deal with it personally but I do not think that I need to inflict it on others. None of us have any trouble finding places to cry; it is harder to find places to laugh. Oh. While I am at it, look at this. I don't think it is too political do you? Found at Internet Weekly Report
