issues & then there’s gas
So, I was thinking I should probably answer my own question. I am determined not to be a one-issue voter – I have too many friends that I disagree with on one issue, but respect across the board, so I guess I have to treat the politicians the same way. Of course, I wish I could find one that agrees with me exactly. Wouldn’t that be great? Although possibly a little freaky. Here are some of my top issues though: fiscal responsibility (ok, stop laughing), abortion, education, foreign relations (who we’re fighting with and who we’re helping), and forgive my idealism – but who I think has the ability to sincerely do what they think is best for the country without being swayed by the squeakiest wheel. And to echo one of my friends – Jed Bartlett will always be president in my heart :)
(don’t read into this – I haven’t decided yet who I’m voting for)

On another note – yesterday I had the opportunity to see a few of my close friends, but only for a few minutes. It made me happy for a while, but today I’m a little melancholy. I know there is significant seriousness about the current gas situation and I don’t take that lightly. But here is what high gas prices mean to me- I would visit my friends (far and near) more often if not for the price of gas. For now, we are grateful for email.
I’m melancholy too. I knew I’d feel the let down after seeing everybody yesterday. But I REFUSE to whine! :-)
