We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
that Anita Hill assassination attempt is one of the things that woke me up to what the country's 'left' was really all about.
A rags-to-riches--well, rags-to-SUPREME COURT, story of a black man who made it to the top, inside the system--well, we can't be having any of THAT now, can we?
Some of those jerks are still around, you know. Biden for one. Plus a good guy or two--Specter, for one.
