I was accused of being a socialist today...it was so retro it almost turned me on a little, I love retro style! (as demonstrated by my taste in shoes). It was so...oh I don't know...Joe McCarthy! Damn! What ever happened to THAT guy? Is he still in Congress? He MUST be.
Oh, back to being called a socialist...I was called a socialist because a friend of mine was declaring the end of Democracy and the beginning of Communism, and why couldn't we just trust the free market to fix itself and blahblahblah...my response was "while I'm not so sure about this bill, I'm pretty sure Enron is a good example of private industry blowing it in the free market...". I was informed that my friend was not entertaining discussion on the topic because...it was socialist, and further more, my ideas were a threat to freedom.
I responded that the biggest threat to freedom is silence. And that my comments weren't intended to insult him but to challenge him to solution oriented thinking.
Upon further reflection I can't imagine what I was thinking. I went back and reviewed the TOS for this friendship and apparently I initially missed the fine print that states "friendship and the only acceptable definition of freedom are dependent on you agreeing with me at all times".
Sweet...so now I have a retro label to go with my vintage fashions.
I hope you're gleaning that I'm pickin' up what you're putting down.

As for true love...he and I have discussed this many times now...he really is a believer in true love. I'm uh...well let's just say I'm a little more cynical. I'm squishy, I love being in love...but I have a pretty intense bullshit detector and people who try to woo me with classic "romance" basically piss me off. That is, until Mr. Banana Chimichanga came along. He's made me appreciate loooooove all over again :) Just sayin...oh NO...NOT TRUE LOVE...that's a stupid concept that people use themselves to make things seem super duper magical that probably shouldn't be. But real, good love? The kind that happens over banana chimichangas and sweet overtures of sweetness that aren't the fake kind? Oh yes...good times.
My personal explanation is not true love. It's "my personal chemistry set and yours complement one another nicely".

"Many medical studies have proven, motivating children to develop self-confidence, giving them close companionship “and improving their R.E.M. sleep” in the early stages of autism, asthma, ADD and ADHD can overcome these disorders completely."
Check, check and check. And I still have ADHD. Not just kinda. Crap like this parked out there in the virtual world makes me want to "virtually" punch people in the face.
