All Forms of Life Are Sacred.

[NightOwwl]

70. Unless they are a Democratic voter for over 30 years...

who, after 30 years of faithfully supporting her party finds out that it was all a phony sham. And when said voter realizes that part of her life is over; when she discovers life without politics is anxiety and fear-free; when she finds that life without politics is healthier for her and her loved ones; when said voter realizes she is accomplishing more and is becoming more compassionate and loving; when she sees a world that used to seem so small and petty becoming a thousand times bigger and brighter -

when she tries to share some new ideas (albeit in a somewhat clumsy way) with with people she thought she had much in common with - people she thought were open-minded, intelligent and progressive (after all, isn't that what being a liberal is all about?) -

she is verbally spat on and treated like scum, and the thoughts she shared are shot down as crazy (never mind that various philosophers and one of my favorite comedians, George Carlin, have shared similar thoughts.)

Compassion for life - who can argue with that? Here's a thought. Maybe some of that compassion could be directed towards real, live people - as well as words on the internet.
