About Me
- LittleOrangeFox
- I need way more than 1200 characters to explain MYSELF. So i'll make it brief. I'm introvent, quiet, modest, and shy. Until you get to know me, then I'm a female Robin Williams...before he went nuts. I hate working at Lowes but will be stuck there forever. I went to a nice high school and I shall leave it at that for all you stalkers out there. I'm a southern bell but I don't faint on the couch! I'm tuff as nails and somewhere to the political right of Rush. I love everyone...except Bin Laden....Hate that guy...and most liberals. Except a few choice ones I have come to know.

Apparently I can't comment on The Outlaw Republican so I'll comment here instead.
I'm sorry I didn't keep up with your blogging; I think I felt the same
lack of internet oomph that you have, or appear to have. Also I think
I started to actually _care_ about politics. This requires some
explanation:
It is easy to form an opinion, and I think many people, myself
included, enjoy the game of picking a particular political ideology
from the sea of ideas floating by. It gives you something to identify
with, and it doesn't matter if the substance of it, the people that it
actually affects, are not important to you.
The reason I could never read Anne Coulter and comprehend her, and
instead felt merely angry (and now mostly sick), is that she plays on
this game, leaves gaps and lets a reader who agrees with her fill them
in. (Of course there are those on the liberal side, such as Al
Franken, who I can read and hear my own ideas merely echoed back; it
feels like a real political argument but it is not).
Unfortunately, now that I'm getting older, the world is becoming more
real. Politics actually affects me in a visible way. So I can't see
politics as that game any more. The illusion of Democracy based on
real interests seems to be giving way to an unpleasant reality of
puppet-like politics. The politicians give use politics as our toy to
keep us happy.
Now I've always disliked the idea of revolution as a violent change,
but there is a certain siren beauty of _real_ politics and real
political thought in life-threatening change. Of course I don't think
that would be a good thing; I may be communist but I'm not out to
start a real revolution.
Well I won't expect you to care about all this necessarily; but think
about this email as the comment I would have left to your post, if the
lively political debate that was rightrants was still with us.
