Did you ever wish some days you weren't a Dem/progressive/liberal?
Edited on Fri Jan-21-05 02:25 PM by Beware the Beast Man
Did you ever wish you had the capacity to just not give a shit anymore; not care about what this administration is doing to our society (and others); not care about issues outside your own inner sphere; having to arue your point with either neocons, Repubs, Freeps, as well as your fellow Dems? Have you ever felt as if ignorance truly is bliss? Yeah, I do too, sometimes.

What I mean to say is, some days I wish I didn't care as much. I wish I could view life in black & white and not have to deal with those silly nuances. But I can't.

2. No.
That would mean I was so uptight that I wouldn't even like myself in my own skin.

4. Yes! Some days I wish I did not care about all the things
I care about. Some days it hurts too much to care. Some days I get so sick of fighting. Some days I get so tired of trying to explain to the ignorant why I care & why I fight. But I refuse to let them win, so I continue to care & to fight.

9. There are days when I succumb to my former libertarian attitudes.
That makes it a little easier, but not much, since if there was ever an administration that truly represented "big government", this is the one. There's never been anything to match it.
