I know most of you outright hate and loathe political content. However, there is this little flash movie that you might find interesting and informative:

Bush in 30 Years: Social Security - "If it ain't broke, don't privatize it!"

(There was a contest for the best flash animation against Bush’s idea to privatize Social Security. After watching it, I learned some things that I didn’t know before. Just give it a shot, I guarantee you’ll at least learn something you had no idea about before…)

I agree with Heather – I myself am very tired of all of the bullshit, high school conflict going on. More and more, it seems that the only way to stop it is to let things drop and open myself up to be a human doormat/scapegoat again.

Well, I’ve decided that’s not happening. I don’t deserve that. I don’t deserve to be blamed for everything that goes wrong, and I don’t deserve to get backstabs for all my troubles of being overly fair and peaceable. I’m a smart-ass, and I deserve to be called on my wrong words or actions – but I never deserved any of that other stuff and I will. Not. Tolerate. It. Anymore. I won’t open myself up to that kind of attack anymore. Period.

I’m willing to hang out in a group and live and let live. I’m willing to do that.

I’m willing to do that because everything has gotten out of control. My personal choice in friendships has been turned into a group issue, and as a result people are being excluded and taking sides.

I’m willing to do that because – well – actually I’ve ALWAYS had this standpoint. I never asked anyone to “side” with me on anything involving this crap. I never was unwilling to go places because some people were going to be there that I didn’t care for.

I never even wanted to drop anyone as a friend – but I was given little choice in those matters, despite my best efforts.

So this is me, trying again to be the bigger person and make a bid for this shit to just stop.

(I don’t want one solitary post playing devil’s advocate on anything. I don’t want to hear it.)

Most people will never be able to see anything past their own two eyes.
