I've had it up to *HERE* with political conversations and posts that are disrespectful of people with opposing views and vantage points. We need to step back and take a long hard look at ourselves as human beings and how we're treating one another.

You know what comment I get more than any? "Get off of the fence." What fence? In other words, just because I don't want to be in one backyard or the other, I'm on a fence? And then they call me a Libertarian, and talk about Ayn Rand, and I just throw my arms up in resignation, apparently everyone needs to be pigeon-holed in 2011.
