It has been one hell of a week. *nod* The Omaha shootings were horrific and tragic and did make me think of you.

I have many opinion on the politics you mention. I do not talk about politics or religion online though, so haven't had a lot to respond to you about for a while. But you bring a RECIPE and I'm all over that. It sounds tasty, and definitely fun and easy. I usually have containerfuls of those veggies pre-chopped and dehydrated, so for me, it's gonna be even easier to make! Thanks! Soup in the winter is SO wonderful. :D

where else to speak your opinions on politics than on the Internets?? *g*

i like to use it to rant, i need it to rant. i'd seriously implode otherwise.

ooh, you've got it all chopped up and ready to go? awesome! definitely would make it easier.

i'm such a soup fiend. i think that's all i'm going to eat this winter. testing out/modifying my own recipes. *rubs hands together gleefully*

Ah, the internets were made for porn. But not wank, as it grows sour and kills fun stuff. So! Nope, no politics for meeeeee, as I like to keep mah 'nets a happy place. Pleeze to be joining me in happy fun stuff instead, hello hi.

Yeah! I have dehydrated onions, carrots and celery, so I just sorta rock like that, whee.

i agree that teh internets were made for porn ;) but, i would disagree on the wank - fandom wank? yeah, fuck that (except when it comes to screwing over the author, like fanlib wank, and then i care). but politics? i think that wank is good and healthy and -important-, given the coming elections creeping up on us. i know, to most of my flist, i'm preaching to the choir. but for me, given what i see in the politics of today in this government, if i sit back and lack a voice, even if it is to just post links to idiocy etc... in the higher eschalans, then i feel like i am contributing by my apathy. i've been apathetic about politics nearly all my life, which soon i'll post in a journal about nebraskan politics and how we're so misunderstood in the US on a whole, but i can't stand the apathy any longer and have to speak my mind. otherwise i'll implode. i know that little me, with no political pull, no money to speak of and no real power in any sense can't have much sway in the political realm, but my sole power is my voice. and

Your journal is perfect for you to get your thoughts and opinions out on politics... I can tell you really, really need that outlet indeed! GO for it!

For me, it's different. It's not that my opinion differs all that much from yours (actually you're pretty dead-on to how I feel much of the time), I just have a very difficult time expressing myself clearly on certain topics in this format. I'd rather talk of them face to face, out in the real world. I just get myself frustrated when I can't convey what I'm trying to get across this way. *shrug* It's just a me thing.

And you ain't no noob to politics. There's sooooo many people that don't care to ever know anything about this stuff. And they will never learn or try to see what's happening. They'll still vote though... and that's scary.
