Oh, sorry! I thought this was the poetry thread.

is it weird to sit alone, with no lights other than tv and computer?

my roommate thinks so...

too much light is obnoxious.

i use the term "you people" friendly here, because us cons feel as "us people" here i agree that labeling is kind of a joke...but i'm a conservative on a board that leans left. i'm assuming that most of you view conservative voters as gay-lynching fanatics...just pointing out that labeling is a means to shut down debate to make us hate each other instead of listen.

as far as the light bulbs go,,,i don't see how the new one's are more helpful to the environment...they have mercury in them. so you are replacing CO2 (which trees omit) for mercury...which is supposedly the worst thing since trans-fats.

i realize...and it's all in good fun. however, yea, in reality...i don't find them 'helpful' nor very informative, and you're quite right...the 'labels' do more harm than good imho. and hell, ever here...not all that useful. for 'cons' i am quite the liberal, same as out imn my reality...but i think for many lefties here, i am far too tame....so yea, a moderate with left-leaning tendencies perhaps? haha. and hey, if you've got a decent sense of humor.....how can i hate?

in regards to the lightbulb issue, i honestly don't know quite enough about it to weigh in with an informed opinion.

when I want to read actual paper. I don't go above a 60 watt if I can help it, unless I'm at work where the flourescents run rampant.

At home, I don't turn on the TV much, though. I prefer to tailor and filter my news as I see fit, on the internet.

oh i totally agree...left, right, i think we have so much more in comon than we think, and despite what the media (and new media) would have us believe, ...when push comes to shove..i have confidence in our ability to come together.

Come Together

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

well, i *AM* a hugger...and i don't discriminate...conservative or liberals alike. a few of both from the board can attest to that.


but hell yes, if you are a fellow beatles lover too? you betcha.



one last *touchy, feely, warm and fuzzy* post...and i'll stop.......for now.


Imagine
John Lennon


Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religon too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
In a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say i'm a dreamer
But i'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

i'll hug ya if you can at least admit this is funny...from my point of view

Imagine there's no liberals
It's easy if you try
No Feminazi's
None of Billy's lies
No environmental wackos
Lying to our kids
You, you may not like Bill Clinton
Well, you're not the only one

Imagine the truth about the 80's
Even if you can
High schools without condoms
And no brand new health plan
Imagine all the people
Paying their own way
You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But, I'm not the only one
We should have listened to Rush Limbaugh
Then maybe George Bush might have won Bush I I think

Imagine Hillary baking cookies
I know it's very hard
No lesbians playing soldier
Or dragging tracks in the yard
What if Ronald Reagan
Could have had four terms
You, you may say I'm a dreamer
I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll read "See I Told You So"
Then the world will live as one

actually, my fave right wing parody song of all time...glenn beck's take on lennon's this is xmas:

So this is Christmas
Conservatives cry
Cause children are happy
And we want them to die

War mongering Christmas
We all had some fun
Bombing all the A-rabs
And starving their young

Conservative Christmas
Drive my SUV
Right over the homeless
Speed bump them with glee

Conservative Christmas
What a happy day
‘Cause we just stole 4 million
From your 401k’s

An intolerant Christmas
On the colored we spit
And beat them for crimes that
They did not commit

Conservative Christmas
Have a happy new year
Unless you’re a red man
Black, yellow or queer

There’s a new Christmas anthem
On this holiday
For all those who hate us
No matter what we say

A Conservative Christmas
Have a great holiday
Unless of course you’re a liberal
Or a conservative gay

A Conservative Christmas
And a write off next year
Pray for a bull market
And go kill a deer

We’re war mongers
Love no longer
White race stronger
Blah Blah Blah Blahhhhh

well i don't go for 'conditional hugs'...they need to be given, freely/reciprocally......;) however, of course i can admit that is humorous....b/c it is. over the top usually is.


*edit - HA! fuck! that second one is priceless...over the top...to the hilt! hahahahahaha.
