Politics

This is an email I sent to several friends today:

Hi, y'all, I'm feeling mugged by all the political and now, economic news. For the rest of the week I don't want to know anything and am avoiding talk radio, tv news and news in general. PLEASE don't send me any palin obama biden mccain stock market wall street email this week. I have become a human sponge, so I need to squeeze and then disinfect myself. Thanks.

Now, I'm breaking my own ban, with only with myself.



The last time I CHOSE to vote, it was for Bill Clinton's first term. Then I dropped out, became cynical, and said Politics is not the answer. and I complained and complained and complained.




Now, in 2008, for me, voting is no longer a choice but an IMPERATIVE.
