Thanks for letting me vent. That last sentence isn't really true, but I DO envy the people who can just let it go and who can look at Dan Rather, Bill Clinton, Hillary, or Peter Jennings and not wretch. How sweet it must be.

The wish is the ancestor of the action.

If you want to be a moron, join the Dims.
If you can't stomach that thought, just get a frontal lobotomy - less painfull.

I know how you feel. I was born in 1963 and remember a lot of the same televised events. As for my husband, he's the same age, but of vastly different background and temperament. He loves to fish. So do I, but it's almost a religion with him (fisherspouses know what I mean).
That's all he would do if it were up to him. He is conservative, but with a big streak of libertarian skeptic built-in.
He doesn't much pay attention to political goings-on, and is amused at my vocal support of the President.
Sometimes I've been envious, but I realize he misses out on information by choice.

Oh wait, I get it now. ;-)

I enjoy conflict, of minds that is. I love to argue with people. If everyone agrees on something, heck, I might just take the opposing side just to argue and fight with them.
To: Fixit
lol, he wants to be a "Dumbie.
To: Skooz
I agree with you completely. I wish I knew nothing about politics and world affairs and wish I cared even less.
There was a time when this was true and I was much happier.
To: Skooz
Skooz Good rant. I think about this all of the time. I, too , am an avid fisherman, and my lures are important, however, i spend much time planning how to deal with the PETA freaks when they try to take away my Daiwa.
That being said, I watch in amazement, as my politically ignorant in-laws stumble through life, not knowing that they are unwitting accomplices to the liberal agenda. Hell, they dont even know what the liberal agenda is, which makes them accomplices.
My wife is starting to come around, through gentle, yet relentless thought-provoking questions and comments from me. Occasionally, I slip, and rant for a while on the "liberal pukes", but for the most part, she is becoming "Un-PC" The deprogramming is having an effect.
My in-laws in general, though, have made verbal agreements amongst themselves, not to bring up politics in my presence. A sad commentary.
Stay well

And if you can't get a frontal lobotomy then get a bottle in front of me. Much less painful.

Good call back!
I think Skooz is on to something here. My wife (brilliant wife, I must add) often shares a similar feeling. It isn't just about intelligence, though, as Skooz pointed out. It is also about awareness. What is that saying I saw on FR the other day, something like "If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention."
I really am of two minds on this one. First, we have to be vigilant to guard our freedoms. Second, however, is that we become more free (temporarily, anyway) when we start to ignore the shenanigans of those who hold power over us.
Wow, a vanity that I actually liked and didn't feel the need to bump to the cheesewatch list. Good job Skooz.
(To the comedically challenged: A call back is when a comedian makes reference to an earlier joke in the set. TA was referencing a funny vanity the other day that spelled dummies wrong.)

Hey man, I can relate.Try the fishing thing. It can work for hours at a time. As to the brother-in-law types ... try ridicule. At least you won't have to have them in your face much longer as they will avoid you in short order.

re : For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
I embarrassed myself on more than one occasion at a dinner table when drunk after my tour of Bosnia. I hated the fact that I had seen things and when drunk I used to try and get others to understand

Thank you. I really needed a good chuckle.
