I don't have any particular political affiliation but will attach myself to certain issues. I don't like "jargon" to describe people or issues, like "liberal"; I think it's lazy and replaces critical thinking. I read a lot and I put polls up on issues when I want to compare my opinions against those of others. Often I'm surprised and that's what I like about Ask500. I'm back in Maine (thank god) now after having spent 8 months in Germany and 6 weeks in Krakow, Poland.
I'm getting ready to go back to Warsaw to get some dental work done. I need a kick in the pants to make me appreciate my homeland again. I'm so tired of the political divisions that seem to be insurmountable. No amount of pleading seems to make either party consider the welfare of the people they represent first.
In July I'm going to Jelenia Gora, Poland to finish the dental work. One of my sons is coming with me. I despair for my country. We elect a president and then try to tear him down and expect miracles from someone who in the end is only a human being. And yet we don't try to support and help him. It's sad. If you want to see what a failed country is like travel; maybe you will appreciate what you have and try to contribute instead of trying to destroy it just because it doesn't always reflect your personal desires and wants.
This is a small town so I have my suspicions about the probable homophobic atmosphere that may prevail here. They "saw the marriage certificate through the window"? How stupid do they think people are? They must have entered illegally so they made up this cock and bull story to cover their asses. An Air Force member cannot just leave their post/job at the beck and call of the police department. They called this "refusing to cooperate". I just think this whole thing is a good example of why the military policy needs to be changed. For god's sake. The military is having a bad enough time trying to recruit people and to discharge a 9-year, experienced member for being a lesbian? Who the hell cares? I don't.
That everything that is meant to be organized is in it's proper place, e.g. drawers and files and the top of the desk is free for it's purpose. Albert, bad analogy.

Mr. Charm couldn't deal with people who disagreed with him in person; he has to have a radio show with screened calls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNK4byQkn7w
I absolutely loved this. I detest this man who is probably the most unamerican individual in the public eye.
