Maybe Beginning to Get It.
February 6, 2008
Have you ever had one of those episodes, or periods, where your behavior wasn’t its best, but you didn’t know quite what accounted for it? Color me there. Still, I’ve had a few thoughts about what the trouble might be. Something has been unsettled in me by people’s dissatisfaction with the field of Democratic Presidential candidates. I don’t mean they’re not up to snuff — they quite clearly are. All my adult life, women and racial minorities have aspired to the land’s highest office; and now that we’re just about there for one group or the other (maybe even both) — nobody’s the least bit pleased.
Plus, I find myself jealous that MY issue isn’t being addressed — and I’ve been acting like an ass about it. So, there it is. For the first time in quite a while, I drank so much alcohol that I feel the twinges of a hangover. It’s not a bloody awful hangover, mind you — but there’s no mistaking what it is. And I acted out, and people acted out back, but I got to this place with it.Not bad for a day’s life.

That’s not how I see it, it looks from my eyes like the Perfect getting in the way of the good. It’s a reaction to the infinite evil of this occupied WH, we want the other extreme. Lots of talk about the left coming to the center because the right is so far right. I don’t see the answer being demanding a Perfect Storm, tho I would be happy to see more out and out socialism/xtian ideal in our candidates.

Hey, I think you’ve already got it. I’m still working on that. Takes a lot of guts and self-honesty to admit it. Don’t beat yourself up.

I don’t know what to say. Certainly not “I know how you feel.”
I act out too. Nobody can tell.
This is a pretty stupid comment. At present. I have a word shortage.
Love ya, plantsman.
