Unfreaking real. Yes it would change my life greatly. It would mean I don't have to spend so much time and effort trying to figure out how i'm going to respond to the societal collapse it precipitated. That I could just live life without worrying about the sword of Damocles hanging over mine and everyone else's head.
I am on a virtual war footing, and you are in pie in the sky dreamland. I am contemplating getting my whole family licenses to carry concealed, and you are enjoying the sunshine and long walks. I'm thinking about building underground storage for several years supply of food, and I'm sure you are just wondering what's on television tonight, or some such.
So, do me a favor and smile more! ;-)
P.S. I have to go to a Labor Day foodfest. I'll catch you later.
And there it is. Confirmation. Yeah, you got a smile out of me, but not for the reasons you think. :)
I think you've summed that up pretty well. I really would join you in the shadows there if I thought it would help. It's not fun to see that a couple of weird guys are getting married and such, but I can't stop them and I'm certainly not going to let them wreck my life. Eventually, they'll figure it out, I suppose. Like I think I said the other day, I'm old enough now to know that my opinion on everything doesn't matter. I prefer to concentrate my efforts on things that I can change. If I could change the 14th Amendment to make it clearly state what I want it to say and nothing more, I would. But, I can't. Even its authors couldn't. It's like the weather now. Things almost have to turn out better than you're predicting.
I like you and I just don't like to see you suffer over things that you really can't do anything about. Your cardiologist, if you have one yet, wants you to smile more. ;-)
