I’d like to introduce myself. I’m an Austin Liberal Democrat. I have the life I always hoped for when I was young. I have a car, a nice apartment, digital cable, enough money to feed my addiction (books), a beautiful girlfriend, beautiful girls as friends, and a job that satisfies and challenges me, but which I can leave at work when I go home. What more could a person want?
How about a President who is smarter than me? How about Universal Health Care? How about a country that realizes that two people, any two people, getting married has no effect on you whatsoever?
My annoyance at people who agree with me, but don’t vote, knows no bounds. Yet, how much different am I? Yes, I vote. Yes, I give money to the ACLU and the democratic party, but what am I really doing to try and change things. I discuss issues with anyone who disagrees with me and try to make them change their mind. It’s a start. This I hope will be the next step.
I am adding my voice, or text at least, to the thousands of others who want to try to get this country back on course. Not getting it back to some mythical glory days that never existed, but to a future where equality is real, tolerance is practiced, and freedom is more than just a word.
That’s what I humbly hope to accomplish with my blog.
Oh, and I’d like to get that bastard impeached.
