384. If you get ripped, it won't be me doing it.

I am not troubled one bit if people "get something" from MM. If he resonates with you, great. I don't want to censor the guy, or shut him up, or shut him down, or anything of that nature.

He just doesn't do it for me, for the reasons I've already articulated (and won't bore you with again!). I also see him as a lightning rod--YMMV on that score, and that's fine, too. I don't demand that people see things my way, we're all different with differing viewpoints--I am a bit surprised at some of the comments I've gotten on this thread, though. Very revealing, some of 'em!

I get plenty out of my little GOTV/poll driving effort--it's kind of an event for me and a few others who participate, even in the off-years. I've met a lot of nice people, I feel good doing it, and I've established connections in my community (I did a lot of moving around for most of my life, and roots/associations are a new thing, relatively speaking--even though I'm in an "ancestral locale" of one branch of my family). I'm going around reminding and re-reminding some of my "regulars" (I take a few folks to the grocer/doctor on occasion) and warning them that they might have to endure tight quarters so that I can try to maximize my loads, and I am also going over the ballot measures ahead of time with them so they don't dither in the booth and know by measure title what they're voting on without having to fart around reading the small print--that is always a real time-saver. I'm hoping to break my "personal best" this time--if everyone cooperates, it might happen. I've got a small side bet going on with a fellow schlepper; we'll see who wins!
