Casca, you assume a great deal by deeming me bright, but you are on point with my intellectual lethagry when it comes to politics. I have made peace with my disdain for both parties, yet no third party fits my views. I have come to the realization that the campaign financing/lobby system is the root of the problem. I am also frustrated with the fact that there is no political party that is socially liberal while being fiscally conservative, why am I forced to choose, I hate it. I want law and order, but I want religion away from politics, I want abortion, gay marriage, racial equality, but I want no bail outs, minimal social programs, protection of the borders and interior enforcement and most of all I want the entire population drugged with birth control in the water supply and only by proving financial responsibility can the antidote be given for them to have children, people that cannot afford children should be prohibited from having them. You tell me where I get that from a political candidate and I’ll become involved again, until then, it’s all B.S. to me and I feel no guilt in lumping them together as equally worthless.
Veritas, another point for the Julius Ceasar reference, Adams and Julius in the same thread, you are o.k. in my book. If you weren’t already aware, both men have had HBO series based on their lives (Adams and Rome), both were well done and primarily accurate. Since HBO cancelled both “the wire” and “inside the nfl” I feel a little dirty for giving them a plug since I’m mad at them.
