The Lone Liberal
My Son, James gave me this name 7 years ago while we were driving home from a Christmas visit at my parents. I was raised to be a committed active citizen of the Republican variety. All my siblings are still Grand Old Party activists, loyal Rush Limbo listeners and my parents always have a photo of the highest elected republican politician on display in their kitchen. In contrast, I am a committed Wellstone Liberal! Therefore, you can imagine the convoluted cantankerous quality to our political conversations.

Theme revert- please,  please, have my comments reappear!

More Confessions:

I called the French Embassy and thanked them for opposing the war. I have attended anti war vigils before and after the war.

I have corrupted my 19 year old Son with my liberal values to such a degree that he signed up for AmeriCorps and is off in MI teaching kids, honesty, responsibility, caring and respect via a YMCA camp. He has ended up even farther left than I have! He reads Noam Chomski (sp) for pleasure. I worry that he is SO cynical already! He borders on believing the Luminadi/masons are in charge... He must be corrupting me somewhat because there is a part of me that still wonders if Paul Wellstone and his wife were killed.

Additional Confessions:

I also do not want the stock market to rise based on the fact that we have really cool high tech killing capacities. Note the onion.com had a story poking at this idea.  I am surprised how puratanical my perspective seems to have become.  I want us to suffer for our sins.   I have mentioned or alluded to "god" in every post so far: Why have you forsaken me, pary for your children, etc... and I do not consider myself in any traditional sense... Juesus was a guy, a really good guy, but guy, certainly worth patterening your life after, but just a guy.......

What would you loot from a government office building?

Why am I not thrilled about our victory?   I have to confess that inspite of my recognition that SH is not a benevolent leader, and that the citizens of Iraq deserve to not be persecuted, I did not want the might means right perspective to easily prevail- It feels sinful to admit .... I certainly have not been hoping that all our army guys would be killed off or that S.H. would remain in charge... BUT, BUT, But, ...

I keep thinking back to the intro to a story I wrote a few years back:

I don't know the name of this story , nor the true meaning of dreams, Life is very complicated, it is never as simple as it seems......

Comments Conversion

I still have not been able to determine what happened to the previous comments or the ability to post new ones.... I have a disscussion posted on the Radio Userland sight..... I want to note here that I have been a computer consultant PM for years and understand how to read computer manuals, but I do not seem to be able to find the BIG picture documentation I need to understand how this app is layered.  One of the key reason I am putting time into this blogg is to try and feel less "lone" , so I hope this issue will soon be resolved.
