RYC: The whole equality thing makes you the f-word. Really that is what the f word is about, but it has gotten confused and redefined by people with their own agendas - those for and against the f-word included. :)

What you said about the belief system was really comforting and I had never thought about it on those terms before. I always learn a lot from you dealing with religion and beliefs. I appreciate that so much!

And I agree about the whole EE thing. I think that people too often see politicans only as politicans and their wives and not as people. I adore John McCain. If it was a photo of me and him (I could only hope!) the same kind of judgement would be made. I think that is what I hate about the whole politics thing. On social issues - I am pretty left. But I want change in who those things are handled (like education counting towards welfare work requirements- during his convention speech, I was so impressed that Bush was stressing education in adults!) but there are issues I fall on the right with, too. I hate that I almost have to be either or. I get told off by liberals for selling out and being too conservative and I get told off by conservatives for being liberal. *sigh*(

I appreciate all of your comments so much. And I appreciate you, too. I hope that you know that, my friend.

Hope you are feeling better. Sorry to comment a blog :)
