All in the LJ family

Well, after some research on their privacy policies, etc. I decided to skip Facebook - besides, as the main point is for people to 'find you' and all the people I've really wanted to keep track of I mostly have, I don't see the benefit quite fitting where I am.

On the other hand, I would very much like to welcome my daughter, starbells to LiveJournal! It's enough to keep up with, I think, and there's plenty of places to play. She and I are especially enjoying a new family oriented Who site, tardis_children.

After a week of mucho craziness with extra people in the house, our pastor and his family got to get into their own place last night - only ones still here are the two friendly cats and we're getting rather attached to them. Life is good. Pastor keeps a amusing blog - wonder if I can lure him over here eventually.

I admit, we're certainly on the other end of the spectrum from you! ;-)

Yeah I thought you might be. But I just have to say that I think you are *far too nice* to be a McCain supporter...at least some of the supporters I've seen and heard in recent weeks ;o Some have been really hateful, but you are such a sweetheart, gentle, kind, loving ;) It just doesn't compute for me ;) {{{{Hugs to you}}}}

One thing about politics is it polarizes, pigeonholes and overgeneralizes like mad - I suppose it has to, to deal with the huge numbers of people involved. I had to laugh at your summing up of McCain supporters, as I've seen the same from the 'other side'... people will be people, no matter where they are busy planting a flag, and you'll get good, bad and ugly in every camp as long as there are human beings involved.

That is so true...I realize there are bad apples in every group...it was just one video I saw where just about *everyone* in line waiting to get into a McCain Rally was chanting some kind of epithat or hostile remark...Up till then, I figured it was just a few kooks.

And I *know* that you would *never* say things like that and neither would a few of my other Christian friends who are supporting McCain...its too bad that a few of you good ones have to be so overshadowed by so many bad ones :(

Btw, we've been to both an Obama rally and just yesterday, a Biden rally, and I never heard anything of that kind of remark (kill him, terrorist, or anything of that general nature) being shouted out. The *only* thing negative you hear is some booing at the speaker's comments now and then, and I'm not even all that comfortable with that to be honest. Other than that, there are just positive shouts of Yes We Can, Obama, etc. And I've never heard anything shouted at rallies on tv either. I'm sure there are some kooks at the Obama rallies too...I've just never heard of them, or heard them personally.
