I am feeling guilty. . .
I consider myself to be a very open-minded person. People are different, and that's ok. And something I might not especially like isn't necessarily bad. . . it's just different.
But I have a zero tolerance policy for Republicans. It's like I can't even meet a Republican without getting into some sort of argument about politics. And the thing is, I don't think all Republicans are bad people. . . but I feel like their policies right now completely contradict what I believe in. War, for instance. That's one that I cannot wrap my mind around. These anti-gay and anti-abortion movements. . . capital punishment. Most of these things are supported by the incumbents. And, to tell you the truth, when I meet someone who supports them, I assume that they believe in these things as well. And this, in my head, is enough to disregard them as being unsavoury people.
And that strikes me as a dangerous social habit to pick up. . . there, I said it. I'm not perfect.

It seems that the sort of atmosphere of fear and paranoia have scewd a persons beliefs so that they vote for the person offering "protection", even if it does mean loseing their civil liberties...
But i can sympathize... bloody conservatives here are the most selfish, self centered, self centered, nasty greedy cunts I will ever meet.
Nevermind tho!
Thanks for the advice on prague i'll probably find myself stumbleing around alot due to the price of the beer, but i'll find out i spose!
