the liberal mind - an epiphany - no, this is not satire

[Feanaro]

I'm only going to touch on one thing here. Depression. Get up, stop feeling sorry for yourself and get on with life. You only get one ride on this roller coaster and if you spend all your time being depressed then it's gonna be a crappy ride. And if you can't stop being depressed go get some happy drugs. That's the answer to everything now anyways. More drugs.

If I live to be 100 I will never understand the liberal mindset.

Feanaro, I've suffered from depression on and off for much of my life, and there's a good deal of truth in what you said. You can wallow in it, turn it inside out and examine it, and spend your whole life consumed by it. Or you can just say "I'm not going to let this run my life," and go do something. Anything.

But wait! There's more!

Ms. Lamott is required reading. Yesterday, during one of my shifts on the reference desk, there were two students from the local college who came to the library looking for Lamott's Traveling Mercies. All copies were already checked out. Those who have the care and keeping of young minds don't have a problem with Lamott's point of view.

This calls a saying to mind: "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
Though I have to admit, on that November evening in 2000, when all the media hacks had already declared algore the winner, I was pretty bummed myself, "last time I ever bother to vote", "The morons simply have us outnumbered", etc. etc.

The beauty of America as we all seem to co exist here in relative peace, those of us from the wacked out extreme right clear on over the the wacked out extreme left. That is the beauty of America that seems to be lost on the angry, religious zealots of basicaly any religion (as zealots from all wings of religion seem to believe killing people is the way to go)
Seems like many folks who whine, need to, as Walter Hagen used to say...."Don't hurry, don't worry, and don't forget to smell the roses along the way" Or as grampster says....."Live fast, die young, have a good lookin' corpse and don't trust anybody".
