DO NOT SEND ME ANY POLITICALLY INCLINED E-MAILS, PLEASE!!!

Just don't go there. I've tried to exercise restraint by not opining (until tonight) on this blog, and it's much like being on a diet. It makes me grumpy. Fortunately, I'm surrounded by like-minded folks who exercise critical thinking. I read their blogs and am relieved. I don't need to be divisive, and neither do you (addressed to those inclined to send me mud-slinging type e-mails).

(Those of you who know my position are free to discuss and send links to humorous/informative pieces, which I do welcome.)

THANK YOU!

I agree. I hate those mass e-mails. People who mistake rhetoric for logic are tools and need to go back to the tool shed. Whatever side of the political fence one sits on, critical thinking is a must. I'm getting really tired of bad analogies and comparisons with no basis (ie.. comparing apples to oranges). Or circular logic (something is true because I say it is true). Or drawing conclusions from a few scant facts (ie... it does not follow). Does anyone THINK anymore?????

Of course, I blame all this propaganda on the Republicans... ;)

I hate it that they have no concept of truth.

What's politics?

I especially love it when they site themselves. Leak a lie to a lazy reporter, get him to publish it (your basic tool), then site the article as truth. But they know the whole time it's a lie??? Then Fox junkies spout it as truth, more like truthieness.

I yelled, "YOU'RE EVIL!!" to the idiots standing on street corners with their Prop. 8 signs. I wish I had firecrackers to throw at their feet, or those supersoaker guns!

I think you might say this is one aspect of it: http://farfromhome.vox.com/library/post/from-fivethirtyeightcom.html

C'mon, now, Palin's been cleared of any ethical issues and wrongdoing...you know, she didn't abuse power, she's frugal, what's another $150K, even if that's more than most people's houses in the US?

You should actually read that children's book, King & King. That's the book the Prop. 8 people are using in their comercial (I learned a prince married another prince and I can marry a princess). It's a sweet book, completely age appropriate and does not have any sexual content whatsoever. I don't know what the Prop. 8 folks are objecting too. Technically, the little girl could marry a princess if she wanted to. So what? I just don't get it. So what? So a prince married a prince... big deal. They looked cute together. I just can't figure out why anyone cares. Here's a link to King&King. I hope the book sales soar because of this stupid comercial. http://www.amazon.com/King-Linda-Haan/dp/1582460612/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224910471&sr=1-2
