Here's what I think. I think there are a lot of people on all sides of the political fence who are stressed and very uncomfortable right now. It's a combination of many things but mostly it's the uncertainty with Iraq. You can't escape it. It's in the news everyday on every station on every TV and radio. The tension is building up to a frenzy. Different people handle it in different ways. You have those who are quiet. Those who voice their opinions with reason. Those who voice their opinions with feeling. Those who do both. Those who do neither. Those who feel they need to correct others. Those who feel they need to preach to others. Those who feel they need to read and read and read about it. Those who don't give a flying fug about it. To me it's sometimes hard to realize that these people are all merely venting. They are blowing off steam. Letting others hear of their frustrations. Getting some of the jitters out. Nobody has to be right. Nobody has to be wrong. Everyone is just doing what is natural. Not a single opinion on these boards are going to change the world all that much. So I'm going to try not to get all worked up about any of it. But when I do, it will just be me venting. Hopefully I'll catch myself and realize what's really going on. And then go about being me once again. Peace Bro, -Clappy
