“Lechecal, how did you end up so conservo living off the fat o the land (or at least squirrels) in the midst of nude gardeners and raised by hippies?”
Note my current residence and occupation – I didn’t exactly stick around. But seriously, back to the landers can be very conservative on a lot of issues. Ask a self supporting farmer how he feels about welfare sometime. That’s why I distinguished earlier between hippies (a mostly useless breed many of whom never really practiced what they preached in any meaningful way) and back to the landers (quite a different breed – no acid trips, just hard work and unplugging from the grid).
“My political views change drastically depending on those of who I’m trying to “network” with.”
DH, that reminds me of the Family Ties episode (way before your time) where the ultra conservative Alex P. Keaton, in order to impress a girl, struggles to makes a speech to a group advocating women’s rights (or some other similar issue).
“I’m not liberal or progressive – I’m just correct.”
Confusing a political choice with right and wrong – as if we were all looking for the right answer on a math test – is a mistake often made at the furthest limits of the spectrum. I suspect you don’t really believe this, Arkady, as this kind of thinking is usually tempered with the kind of judgment that only comes with experience.

An old wives tale says that deep belly laughs produce happy wee ones. Laugh away THL!

“…what’s in the fridge that may make your hey-nanny-nanny fall off.”
That just made me laugh so hard my belly aches.

“Biff, maybe your tab will still be open..”
Um Bitter, there is a much more subtle way to point that out, thank you.
