re: <<To infer people aren't interested because they don't share their local politics is like inferring they don't have sex because they don't talk about how often they do it, or where. I wouldn't leap to that conclusion myself...>>
Way OFF OT.. Please excuse me Dale but I have to answer this since it involves about what I said about political involvement and that's damn important, imo......
I so disagree with you Mme,
I have been on SI for 10 years and I have observed that people READILY post personal things when they perceive them as being positive, PC, or whatever.. Whether it is about eating, exercising, being "green", etc.. And I think, no I KNOW, most people would think local political involvement was POSITIVE..
And would post about it, If they were REALLY involved.. :)
As people here (on SI, I mean) go on and on about church, choir, charity and other volunteer work, etc.. Which is just fine.. Just great!! :)
I do and I am not too far off from the norm of average people..
So I standby my statement. Snide remarks about me aside. Sex is a whole different subject.. BTW, They should get some now and then, rather than just talk about it..:)
And what Rambi said, (yes, I say her name because she said mine, I usually don't do that) about her suggesting you guys being described as elitist yuppies (WOW, what a 90's term), that's the last thing I would have described you guys at.. :)
Just my observations and I think I am a darn good observer..
Take care,
