I take a walk when I get frustrated with something.

QUOTE(edzontar @ 11/13/05 - 02:58 PM) QUOTE(mberst @ 11/13/05 - 02:02 PM) I don't think that someone feeling strongly about something and expressing themselves in a passionate and determined matter should be seen as some kind of personality flaw or mental aberration that needs to be dealt with by taking a walk, for example. I don't think that calm, detached and "balanced" personal emotional states are something that should be at issue at all. [snapback]242312[/snapback] Enough already. Selwynn posts a whole thread to the effect that he needs a break. In a helpful mood, I suggest that taking a walk might be therapeutic because that is something I like to do when I feel I need a break. Now that harmless remark becomes the trigger for an endless rumination on how we all "should" get pissed off and how talk about takng a break or a walk is a form of oppressive mind control or something etc. etc. OK, that is it. No more. You guys take care of this business for yourselves. And have a great time talking to the mirror. I need a break, maybe a nice relaxing walk or something...... [snapback]242352[/snapback] Walking is very theraputic. Have a walk for me. I'm too tired from singing all afternoon. |

I oppose Hillary as president because she's my Senator & unless a Democrat gets the governorship in 2006 it means that New York would lose a Democratic senator.

QUOTE(lojasmo @ 11/12/05 - 08:26 AM) QUOTE(Nullwinkle @ 11/11/05 - 04:47 AM) QUOTE(Melanie97 @ 11/10/05 - 09:55 PM) Actually, I think Hilary will make a fine Republican president. lol. For the life of me, I can't figure out why some conservatives think she's a threat. She is a conservative. [snapback]241577[/snapback] Interesting comment. I would say that the same thing could have been said about her husband the triangulator, who moved the Democrats farther to the right and who fulfilled the Republican wet dream of "reforming" (that is to say, trashing) welfare. Actually, a similar thing was once made about Howard Dean being by a Democratic Party stockbroker Harlan Sylvester, who was an adviser to Dean. Sylvester was quoted in the St. Petersburg Times back in 2003 as saying, "The joke among a lot of Vermont Republicans was that they didn't need to run anyone for governor because they basically had one in office already." That's why it was so ironic that liberals embraced Dean in 2003 and 2004. And John McClaughry, a Vermont Republican who headed the Ethan Allen Institute in Vermont, said that a lot of Republicans in Vermont considered Dean a "Republican in drag". The difference between Dean and the Clintons seems to have been that while Republicans have had an almost irrational hatred of the Clintons, a lot of them in the state of Vermont actually liked Howard Dean when he was governor. [snapback]241591[/snapback] You won't find many people here who disagree with much of what you've said. [snapback]242013[/snapback] Agreed. As it was, I was stealing the "best Republican president" comment from the liberal Clinton critics. I do wonder if Hilary won't be more right wing.

[snapback]242415[/snapback] I wasn't crazy about the idea of losing John Edwards as a senator in NC, but I never opposed the idea of him being vice-president because of it because I knew he was the best guy for Kerry to pick to run against Bush with. What if Hilary is the best shot we have? |

Lojasmo could you please take a walk? You seem a little tense.

Cheswick "third party chatter" is now advocating voting for republican women over democrat males.
