^^ Do you just live and breathe Politics

^Not all politics, just those that are anti-republican.

Yea, do you actually do anything political that affects change?

3/28/2006 2:44:20 PM

affect change = alter or modify change
effect change = initiate or cause change

the more you know

wait wha ha?

- this website is not just about politics, so i don't know why that was brought up.
- no, I don't live and breathe politics. I live and breathe those things that are important to me, and I actually stay away from politics more nowadays and center on environmental and social issues.
Politics doesn't help shit
- I'm in grad school right now, and alot of the stuff I post and write about is from classes or from research for classes
- I don't like republicans or democrats. the republicans just happen to be the ones who have been in power for the entire time I've been politically aware. It's sort of a waste of time to worry about the group that is NOT in power, isn't it?
- do I do anything? Well, I donate money, I volunteer, I voluntarily use less products that harm the environment and consume less in general, I use primarily local and organic foods to support local farmers, I participate in advocacy projects like http://www.forestimages.org that some friends and I are running to try to protect the national forests, and I write for several online publications for social and environmental change... is that the sort of thing you're talking about?

Overall the site needs a little work, but I like the format. I may not like the images or the lack of content on democrats (where's Kerry and Kennedy).

hehe

why?

3/28/2006 4:11:38 PM

because I care

let me be clear, first of all, that I didn't have anything to do with the site.... does everyone for some reason think I made it?

as for this

from 1992 - 2000 I was in middle school and high school. I didn't know or care about politics then. When i got into politics was when I started hearing about W, and I decided I didn't want him to be president. it was all downhill from there.

Clinton was a goon, and I don't like hillary at all... I like them more than I like bush, but I also think that they're more competent politicians. NAFTA, signed by clinton, is one of the most awful things our government has ever put in place, and clinton lied to the country, UNDER OATH, to prove what a slime he is

they're all slime. politicians are all slime.

I don't even know you but damn if I don't always see you linking to some political story or you are talking about something closely related. Just pointing that out is all.

I mean... it's like seeing a BobbyDigital post and just knowing he's gonna reference:

A. Loot
B. His Loot
C. Loot he spent or
D. Some no talent ass clown he talked to on phone while at work.

Good point

Nifty idea but it's definately got bugs and honestly, i'm not fond of a lot of the design elements.

Refraining from comment on content.

3/29/2006 11:09:01 AM

^^^I agree that it's important. We may fall on different sides of most issues, but the fact that we try to remain informed is what is important.

I agree that the design elements could be improved.....
