i abstain!

on this last day of 2006 i have, through following random links, come to the following important realisation:

i find much more pleasure being an observer to quasi-political semi-debates than i do in being a participant.

as an observer i can see the idiocy on both sides and, at the same time, keep myself from becoming emotionally involved! yogic philosophy - observation without judgement (of course "idiocy" could be judged as being judgemental; it might, but i'm just using one of my favorite words. judge it if you want.)

if you read the above-linked-to-blog-entry-plus-comments, you'll see what i mean.

a few stereotypes come to light though:


that "liberals" are communist-deifying terrorist-luvin' crybabies;




that bible thumpers are ignorant morons

i have not yet read all of the comments on the above mentioned post; if you pick up on stereotypes that i have missed, PLEASE do not hesitate to bring them to my attention and i'll add them to the list!
