Halloween is just a dress rehearsal

[ladynox25]

One week from today the talking heads will stop talking about what might happen, what probably will happen, what certainly will happen, and what will happen if any of the above happens or not.

Then they will start talking about what has happened and what it means.

One week from today the masks will come off and we will be able to see what ghouls were hiding behind them.

One week from today we will know if the American political system has been hijacked or not.

One week from today we will know if America is still a democracy or not.

One week from today.

One week.

If I wanted debate, I'd go talk to someone whose mind was discernably open.

In the meantime, you're venting in public. I might go so far as to suggest, provocation-wise, that everyone who would agree with me that this kind of bias-fed, conspiracy-promulgating, small-minded demonisation, whether this way or the other, on the part of people who we have always considered presumptively intelligent is doing infinitely more harm to the fabric of the Republic than either party could ever do. And therefore might just be a tad provocative.

Anyway: consider that handled.

I'm not about to let you dictate to me what I can and can't post in my journal, private or public. And btw, I never post private entries, and I've only ever posted a handful--and I do mean 5 or less--friends locked ones and that only because the matter was extremely personal.

I also don't remember ever going to your journal and telling you (in essence) that you were a crazy hysterical idiot when you've posted things that I've disagreed with. Instead, I've respected you and your right to post (and think) what you please. I've lived and let live. Which seems to indicate that I have a more open mind than you're willing to give me credit for, but whatever.

Is it too much to ask that you treat me with the same respect? Or does this relationship only go one way?
