(12,233 posts)Plus, I enjoyed recreational drugs and a few random sex partners in my life, I'm sure I wouldn't make it too far without some asshole talking about having sex with me... And yes, they would talk, I'm quite good at it. LOL.
I grew up in VT. When I was younger, I thought the rest of the country operated like VT and decided things in town halls, present and accounted for. Ha, Ha.. what a delusional idea that is. Occupy was kind of close (wish the kids would hop on a bus and tour VT the first Tuesday of March).. Then they would have a better idea of an active, working democracy... That whole (let's all decide as a group thing doesn't really work and someone needs to lead the pack, we are communal people, we have leaders... it just happens.. its nature).
Overall, I see the big picture. I see how one item coincides with another. When I explain it in a few paragraphs or a few minutes, it makes sense and everyone can see the whole picture. I think Obama sees this picture too, he's just operating on a scale where money still = running a campaign, and its unfortunate. He's also a bit older than I am; by 20 yrs. I grew up with Reagan and then Clinton. I thought Clinton was great and couldn't understand what the fuss was about a freaking blow job. (something my generation doesn't really think of as sex - its a safer sex than contracting AIDS or getting knocked up) so its one of the things that is pretty damn good. Maybe that's why sex is good.. we did everything but actually popping a cherry until we were ready. I also grew up with people like Hillary Clinton and my mom who made a career possible, who made it normal for me to go to college without a second thought.
As I've gotten older and have a kid, I realize more and more how much "time" is the precious quantity, and it should not be monopolized by a corporation so one can survive... There is more to life and we should be allowed to live.
