22. As a point of fact

Mar 2012

nobody missed me -- my computer was in the shop for a week, I just got it back Thursday. It's understandable, really. I haven't formed any particular friendships here and I'm not a member of any particular group. I guess you could call me a "sniper poster". I post when the subject matter moves me. Since I get so few replies, I'm really posting for myself -- a way to put my thoughts in order and express them in public. The people I live with don't share the same political positions (one's a Paulbot) so there is little to no discussion of issues at home.
