    blue glow of my PC screen
    lighting my living room.

    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.
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    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? :p haha. and hey, if you've got a decent sense of humor.....how can i hate? :D

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

    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

    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
    Stay with me...

    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
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    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. :D


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