Where do you stand?

do you know how to act?

why not make my first post about politicking? LOL! well, unless you've been under a rock, then you know what is going on between barack obama and hillary clinton. this primary has become one of the most spectacular events in political history in this here millennium. well, that is...until you factor is the foolishness. so regardless of who you support in this race, i wonder, when does integrity come into play? i've visited other sites and commented on some of them...and sometimes, i've been attacked for my view. i can disagree with you, but i don't have to call you names and insult anyone. i understand the passion one may possess. i too, possess it. but when does sweet honeysuckle political interest turn into the sour grapes of disdain for all things opposed to your particular view?

the media needs no help in perpetuating the racial and gender divides that encapture this race. ok, got that. but let me say, if ever trying to covey a message somehow turns into a berating sling-fest, my ears are among the first to pack up and head in the opposite direction. i ventured onto my line sister's blog today and she asked a couple of staright-forward questions. a commenter likened her inquisitiveness to running thru a dynamite mine with a lit match, stating that political (as well as religious) views should be kept to one's self. again, i understand that passion that is involved with both....but can adult humanoids not share their different views without igniting a dynamite mine? since when is anger the first, or the appropriate or even the only response to an opposing ideal?

i am bewildered by this. well, i usually disagree with people. hey, maybe i'm the illogical one....i like chocolate covered tortilla chips dusted with ancho & chipotle chilis. yeah i live on the edge...
