Today I posted a few comments that I regret. Did I really say that?
Well, lately I have done more reading than posting. I have lost interest in this country for the most part. Having decided that a large portion of the populace are either very, very stupid, or they are just plain evil!
When reading others' posts, I often look at the sidebar to see other posts, that do not show in my own sidebar. I sometimes find writers, who really impress me. ---- and I also find writers who either burn my short fuse, or just baffle me, for their stupidity! Today was one of those days.
I came across a writer in Montana, who evidently thinks that besides being the antichrist, Obama and all his followers are Marxists. I have to admit, I lean more towards Socialism, than I lean towards Capitalism. However, a true Marxist, I am not! I enjoy my right to private property, and I don't necessarily believe that government run everything, is always the correct approach.
That aside , I read through this writers postings. My fuse blew! This jerk is just that a jerk! His writing ability, however is good. I just don't go along with his ideas. He's retired military so, that's a good reason for ignoring his postings altogether. I live among a bunch of retired military. I call them the "Lawn Nazis". Because they think everyone should take marching orders from them. They tolerate no variance, from their outdated and boring deed restrictions. Water restrictions? So water after dark, when the water police aren't around. You want to paint your house,what color? Sorry you have to choose from our 1971 color chart!
Seems that's just the way ex-military are. They live in the past. They are still figting wars, that ended years ago. They don't accept any other ideas, than their own. I guess that has something to do with this guys mind set. -------- Then perhaps, he's just a right wing nutcase from Montana. He has that right, I just don't have to agree with it! I don't really want to start any flaming wars.

But for the most part, it is good that people disagree and have vastly different opinions on matters as important as politics, religion, philosophy.
I truly try not to let the fact that I am ardent in a direction different from someone else, influence how I feel about what and how that other person says.
You noted that the one guys was a good writer. Fine! Focus on that...and then do what I do...
...just say, "Ah, fuck him!"
Then it all feels good.
