Time is a many splintered thing...

It is incredible that so much time has passed since my last post. I am in awe of people who do this daily.
I went on a cruise with a bunch of Air America's Randi Rhodes fans...to Alaska. It was a trip (well duh, it was a trip). Alaska is beautiful and it is amazing to be on a large ship. We had some of the best weather possible-came back with a little color! The lefties on the ship were fun and spirited. We ate dinner with a very nice hetero couple from San Diego. The "we" I am referring to is myself and my 85 year old father. I was pleased to find quite a few gay and lesbian fans among the 200. Randi was not really available to talk with, but it was still enjoyable to know that she was aboard.
MY RANT: The most important thing for people to do now,in my mind, is to fight the complacency and ignorance of most Americans. It is easy for these people to accept whatever bullshit the Republicans throw at them; fear of impending terror event (which is inevitable, the need for war in Iran, the weakness of the Democrats, the need to suspend the Constitution, higher taxes for the middle class (Alternative Minimum tax)fear of the HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA...or maybe something new. We must throw ourselves behind the Democratic candidate, whomever it may be, and fight fight fight. I refuse to give this country to the right wing. Perhaps the youth will realize the load of crap they have been sold,and the fact that buying things does not make people happier, prettier or smarter. (It just makes them in debt.) They will have to wake up to the fact that they have to be a part of making this world better,and not just their own pocketbook. But some call me a dreamer....
