A note to all my friends

[weaktwos]

Oy, work is busy, but I'll take time to jot this down to y'all:

To my conservative friends: I hope I've not insulted you with some of my whining. I am upset, I will continue to be upset. But know that I do not hate you or truly think you are stupid, blah blah blah. But I may want to argue/disagree with you from time to time. I hope you don't mind. And it's okay if you get testy with me. I'm okay with dissent and disagreement. I'm here to learn as well as educate.

To everyone:I'm not perfect, so sometimes I may come off as an asshole, but the good news is I don't expect you to be perfect either. And you're welcome to be imperfect with me any day.

I love my country, I love you all.

We're all in on this together, and I believe that even though we're emotionally and intellectually on different sides, right now, I think it stems from wanting similar things in our lives. We want safety, we want justice, we want peace. At least, I think we all do.

Well, that's good that I managed to taper the hatred thing. Having my hatred show is much like walking around with a toilet seat cover hanging out of my panty-hose: simply not good.

Heh. Nice analogy.
