Or just another train a-comin'? From my perch here in the ivory-towered northland, it's easy to be critical but hey, we send out troops off to the middle-east in what seems like a futile effort in Afghanistan too. Watched "Shooter"the other night, hard on the heels of "Babel"and "Syriana" - difficult not to feel just a tad cynical about the motives for Iraq or any other middle east conflict, after perusing any or all of those flicks. And let's not get started on Africa! Sometimes I wish I drank. Nice to meet you too, and thanks for the feedback! Not only nature abhors a vacuum. Is Obama the light at the end of the tunnel?

I honestly think I may not be able to vote, so odious are the choices. The funny thing is I took a quiz to see which candidate my views most closely align with; it turned out to be Gravel or Biden (can't remember which), which is a little surprising as I tend to be considered conservative (middle of the line, really). But these two were listed as the most aligned with the majority of people taking the quiz, so it's surprising and a little disheartening that they are not likely to win the nomination. Grumble. P.S.

Described as 'eclectic' by some and 'eccentric' by others; think both mean that my bubble definitely is not in the middle and more than occasionally I step off the curb, intentionally. My mottos for life?"The only thing I can't tolerate is intolerance." and, "Life is short and uncertain, eat dessert first." I lay claim to the first by picked up the second somewhere along the way. Some of my likes and dislikes include: -love to read and write -hate war and judgemental people -love all shades of purple -hate any type of cruelty to animals but am not a vegetarian -am ambivalent about PETA -am not religious but am spiritual hence comfortable being a Unitarian Universalist Reading this over, I think it probably belongs in my profile so I'm going to stop now.
