I'd first say I a...Wow, that's a mouthful!<br /><br />I'd first say I agree with your main premise. I will however, go after the "lefties" that try to attack the right as evil- just Ias I went after the "rightie" from Austria. Both extremes can be moronic. But unfortunately there are far too many non-extremists listening to garbage from their side's extremists. One of my occasional commenters is a reasonable liberal sort, but gets taken in a lot by all the nonsense haters spout about the Tea Party. I wonder if the age of internet and Facebook has made it impossible for us to "relate on that level" anymore. Perhaps what we need is a good EMP and bring it all down...<br /><br />CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-43708626008088280662014-04-15T19:47:28.982-04:002014-04-15T19:47:28.982-04:00So there are at least two (three if you count the ...So there are at least two (three if you count the one hanging the poster) people at your work who could potentially fit the profile of an office shooter. Not saying it's going to happen, but I'd be REAL friendly to those two who were a little too excited about the poster.<br />I have to defend myself and anyone who recognizes shades of grey (which I hope and pray is the majority of the population), not all lefties think that the right is responsible for all the evil. This is true for both sides, which, I hope will be the uniting factor for reasonable people against anyone who deals in "us vs. them" rhetoric, or believe that the nutty people that sensationalistic media outlets parade around as examples of "the other side" actually represent anyone but the fringes.<br />We're all just people and need to relate on that level instead of devolving into shouting stereotypes of political affiliations. (Oh no, I just wanted to punch my own hippie face for that. There is no hope.)<br />On a different note, what is up with Sao Paolo's street system? In the words of no one who created that mug, Oy Vey. Also, though he parts his hair differently, doesn't Adam Levine of "The Voice" have the same haircut?Pickleopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772003052474877906noreply@blogger.com
