i’ve come to see that certain aspects of my rebellion were childish anti-authoritarian impulses whereas other aspects…. didn’t go far enough. and to recognize more fully the value of structure, boundaries, and consequences.

Welcome, roxannaduel.

It wasn’t the end, it was only the beginning of a new age. Wow this country could not be more split down the middle. I attribute much of that to racism. I think the R’s were relieved that Obama won the election. After they started 2 wars, totally let the economy go south (Feds were responsible but didn’t regulate all those bogus loans) now they can blame him for the mess Bush (well actually his cronies ($$$$$$) as he didn’t have a brain in his head)got us into over the last 8 years. It is going to take longer than 1 year to pull us out of this disaster that has been in the making for 6 years.

I am just so passionate about the fact that we have been spending 2-4 Billion a week for several years policing other cultures/countries and killing countless untold numbers of innocent people.
I think we should have a vote in how we want our taxes to be apportioned, and I would send much much more of my taxes to social care, not the defense department.

I wish I felt we have made progess, but look at this blog and comments UGH

I commented that Victoria Jackson was adequate at playing a dumb blond

i will be SO glad when this lets up. it’s jarring and nerve-racking and i’m tired seeing my own views repeatedly vilified and marginalized. i’m very tired of being called names…
