Its a shame, I was trying so hard to stay out of this.
I graduated a scant 9 years ago and I can tell you that at that time the little
state college I went to here in the bluest of blue states pushed us to think.
When I wrote position papers I usually took a view contrary to the professors
because it usually made the paper easier to write (and generally enjoy being
contrary). I got decent grades or they were at least in line with the effort I
put into the class. I was never pushed to accept any dogma of any kind.
When I entered college I was an ardant Republican with my one issue as gun
control. Now I'm a suffering moderate. I can't stand the Republican stand on
abortion, oil drilling or war and can't handle the Democrat's stance on gun
control, federal spending or vengeful enviromentalism.
The thing that bothers me most about both sides is the "if you're not with us
you're against us" mentality which has no point in a political landscape based
on compromise...
Anyway I'm so sick and tired of the whole election cycle and politics on the
list in general I've resorting to not even reading these messages and doing
work instead... I think I'm going to vote for Jenna Jameson in the coming
election, at least she doesn't hide what she is.
