I posted and ran last night, but I agree with the darker strain of conservatism. The realization I had helped me understand why people who seemed good and reasonable were also conservative. And wrong, I think. They just believe that everyone will act as they would, when actually most people seem ti be selfish idiots, or, at best just trying to keep their own head above water.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're saying I should have waited downstairs with him for the shuttle even though I was still in my inside pants, and I should have emailed him before midnight his time to find out how he was and to be a good compliant daughter.
Am not!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Concert was good, though if I never see another guy in a grass skirt and coconut bra it will be too soon...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sophia, that's a pretty fine insight, and I'm glad you shared it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Discovery of the day: TJ's Mini morning buns are YUM, especially after you sprinkle more cinnamon on them.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
We've been here for an hour and a half already. First match about to begin. Juan carlos ferrero vs. Gilles simon. Mac has a free radio and electric fan already. He loves the giveaways, not so much the waiting.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I am liberal, but I think most people are good. I think we would like to help everyone, but as individuals, we don't really have a way of doing it. I don't actually have the money to buy a doctor's visit for someone, but I don't actually mind paying taxes that will give someone good health care.
Anyway, bar has a bbq today, and I'm trying to figure out optimum time to leave and arrive so as to a) see the most people I want to hang out with and b) not get completely trashed. Hubby's cooking all day (and night) so I kind of want it to be as late as possible.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't think presumption of innate human goodness is a core conservative value.
I think the presumption that everybody is responsible for their actions and circumstances is the basis for conservative thought.
