Can we do it at a beach house in southern Cali? just noticed you mentioned triathlon training in this. i remember being surprised i hadn’t none. i guess i did no but hadn’t paid enough attention. i’m sorry. so can we get a conversation going about why HP is wrong and Raman is right?

The truth is most of humanity operates on the same basis, and the ironic thing is that all of us going around judging one another and at our core we all just want to be accepted for who we are. So the simple solution is to accept everyone for who they are (republican or not-which I also think is a personality flaw but I don’t condemn them for it I just try help them see the light) without judgment. I know your probably saying easier said than done, but not really it’s simple to accept someone and all of their flaws if you can accept yourself and all your flaws. As my mama always says love the sinner, hate the sin (and yeah I think voting republican is a sin). One thing I have to ask the dreadlocked ones, don’t you think quickly judging someone on their political beliefs is the same as someone judging you by your hair? Do you represent everything those dreadlocks do? Do you know lockless ones that represent the dreadlock life more than those with locks? My point is a label is not all inclusive and if often improperly applied, so don’t rely on those instant associations to decipher your conclusions…. Because I helped put in one of you dready boys dreads and I would be sad to think he wasn’t properly representing, which reading through this blog he appears to be the voice of reason and tolerance so big ups to my boy Eli. Which is why I am here Aloha Eli, it’s your old school cruzin Kauai roll dog….you know the crazy loud one that worked at mermaids and the coffee shop….haha did u guess yet…Its Jen V. so when you get a chance hit me back at looking4jenv@yahoo.com we got some catchin up to do, I live on Maui now so if you still coming out the islands every summer u best be stopping by Maui! Good to see u still fighting the good fight and mahala back at ur girl! Much loves and all u all keep up the good conscious minded discussing of the issues.

Do you I really think there are hardlining divided between dems and repub - not really -- Especially now, I dont really see how kerry's plan for iraq is all the different than bush and how he actaully palns on forming a coalition -- I guess just through his presence is his plan. Anyways, the two things that get me are over 10,000 dead civilians in iraq and No gov't funds towards stem cell research. Scientist used to come to America to puruse thier endeavors -- now they go to europe. I agree with Chris though and wish i just didn't feel so strongly about certain issues. -- thats my 2 cents -- i'll add 2 more when i can't find another dead end to the internet.

Are my views my new religion? I think that argument could be made. But my most spiritual moments have been little things in life, completely unrelated to my views. Listening to an old man hum on the trolley - it was a beautiful moment. That for me is spiritual. Arguing about fuel efficiency or some crap is just draining work that I sometimes wish I didn't feel strongly about.
