I spent yesterday trying to make my very personal opinion matter in a very public forum. Facebook posting to someones wall posting is not conducive to having a discussion on a serious matter. I have learned a valuable lesson. In starting down this road I made light hearted comments and was chastised for my ineffectual thinking which did not set lightly with me and thus followed a series of statements from me that were not well received and thus rudely commented upon. Oh well, we live and learn, hopefully from our mistakes. I do not apologize for being who I am, I apologize for thinking that others actually think about me as a person and not a series of characters typed in a matter that they disagree with.
Living in a very christian dominated right wing conservative state is hard sometimes for a progressive bleeding heart liberal like myself. I disagree with the combination of religion and politics in my community, my state and my country. I have spent a lot of time with christians who do nothing for their community but go to church and complain. I wanted to laugh when the WWJD bracelets were so popular. They replaced the cross as a symbol for peoples label of a good person. Evidently the message was lost because not a lot changed in how people treated other people.
Oh well, what a rant this morning in a blog that is supposed to be about art and not about my personal beliefs but sometimes the fingers got to do what the fingers got to do. And right now they need to be removing wallpaper and preparing for a new paint job. Home Depot will be seeing me today with the company checkbook in hand.
