In terms of feeling that the post-September 11th sentiment made it difficult to have an opposing position, I hear what you are saying. I would respond that that is how it feels to be a Republican or a Conservative in the current climate. Excepting the 9/11 aftermath, I would assert to you that the pro-Democrat/Liberal sentiment is the predominant one in our country. I know it is in the city in which I live, Chicago.
Please understand that I am not saying this to be patronizing in any way. My ideal would be a world (or a Jezebel even) where we could each own our parties'/candidates' good and bad sides and discuss them freely without censure or opprobrium. I think that, despite our differences, I get what you are saying and believe that you are coming from a moral and thoughtful place. You articulated your differences with me in a more rational way than the person with whom I seemed to be having the most conflict. I didn't wish to continue much further in the thread, but I wanted to let you know that, disagreements aside, I understand where you are coming from.
Thanks for sharing in the 'races' post. I'm always wishing I could see through other peoples brains!
I have a question, I hope you don't mind. Do you see faces in random patterns like the ones in uneven walls, towels or carpet threading?
I have a "rather hyperactive" face detector (the nightmares it gave me) and I always see those patterns. I wonder if they wouldn't be present in a Prosopagnosic brain.
Just saw your post on the thread about not having/wanting children.
We should be friends!
I feel the same way, I see nothing cute or entertaining about hanging out with children.
Nice to finally see someone else who will admit they DON'T LIKE kids either.
Try Lessing's Canopos in Argos series - a very interesting take on reincarnation and ETs. I recently reread the Golden Notebook, which I remember thinking pretty special back in the day and I was mostly annoyed now with the main character. Lessing may be an acquired taste but, one I think you will like.

Hi there,
Try Lessing's Canopos in Argos series - a very interesting take on reincarnation and ETs. I recently reread the Golden Notebook, which I remember thinking pretty special back in the day and I was mostly annoyed now with the main character.
