Responses

I have some one emailing me again with extremely divisive "information".
The last one was "Which side of the fence or you?"
The E-mail is a chain being sent along conservative lines misses something still again.
I simply responded:  "Why the fence?"
To me, the issue becomes simple as someone attempts to polarize people and "conquer" them, the best way is to divide people.
That is what I perceived the end intent of this "story" was.
If you divide us enough, all that is left if me and me can not stand very long.
The liberals end up hating the communist, the socialist, the right-wingers, the conservatives, the tea party, the John Birchers, etc and it goes with each group, sub-dividing until there are only solitary people believing firmly in only them selves.
That will be the sad day.

Yes, it would be a sad day, but it won't happen because too many people are with you on this. Including me.

Just let them know that you're on the side that wants to set them on fire. Literally.

this must happen in everyone's family. right?
okay, at least it happens in mine.
i think they've finally realized to stop sending me political "jokes" all together.
the last time one asked me if i read it, i replied that i don't read those emails. ever.
they just looked at me blankly while i casually mentioned how we took the baby to a "no on prop 8" rally.
interestingly enough, i haven't received any more political emails from them.

some where I think they keep thinking they will "convert" me.
It ain't going to happen and now i send my own responses back based on whom I am as a person.
