    We seem to share some similar vectors here, beyond the point of coincidence IMHO. Upstare NY raised. I still remember mom taking the 3 of us out to picket. Ill never ever ever forget how it felt holding the picket signs of fetus remains, while standing outside abortion clinics heckling young women as they scurried past sobbing. I’m still trying to forgive myself for it, even though I was too young to have any say in the matter.

    Sadly, most if my family is still grazing the fatty grasses of self indulgent politics. A lifetime of obvious hypocrisy was enough to sour my tastebuds on the matters at hand.

    I don’t see it as a equation about “is the effort worth it”, it’s really more that I don’t feel I have a right to tell others how to feel or act or exist. It’s half the issue I have with their stance; they feel they do have that right.
