i haven’t disappeared completely
I’d like to write something super creative and witty right now, but too bad for you. . .
I started a part time job last week – thus the long absence. I’m doin’ my thing – organizing the visionaries and big idea people of the world. It surprises me every time how much I like doing this – putting the pieces together. I’d give you the website of the organization, but it needs me to work on it first :)

On another note – I can’t help but comment on the political scene these days. I’m fascinated by it all – had a great conversation with a friend last week – we talked all afternoon about the various strategies, etc. Most of you never comment, which is fine, but I am curious – do you have make-or-break issues when you vote? Or carefully analyze the whole platform? Or are you attached to a certain party? You don’t have to declare which one, just tell me how you choose.

In the meantime, Kate is learning to walk. She’s going through a 5th or 82nd clumsy stage – trying to run when she can barely walk. She took out the edge of a bookshelf yesterday – literally knocked the trim off with her face. Such a delicate flower, my girl!
Hey B!
I’m a political junkie these days, too. My ginormous voting issue is taxes. At the present rate, our beloved republic is becoming more and more socialist every day. I spoke with a friend recently and we agreed socialism would be ideal if the government could be trusted in the way that Christ’s leadership could. But we all know that is quite far from the case.
Also, I think it is immoral to keep folks in bondage through subsidies. If you give more incentive to take, than to make, as often happens, what result can you expect?
Finally, with an account as big as the federal government’s they control the individual states with their funding. This overrides the intention of the founders, who wanted to give us as much local control as possible, so as to keep us from having the mammoth, inefficient drunken whale of a federal budget that we have.
Another problem with this is that the government forces us as individuals to finance certain things we may find immoral as their reach grows larger and larger.
So…yeah…I guess I have a pet issue. :)
Congrats on your job and your independent little lady!
