I have no problem expressing what I think. On another thread at another place someone posted "I'm X, and I'm a conservative" To which I replied
I'm Rob, and I refuse to label myself. Labels put one in a box. I prefer to have an open mind without the constraints of heaving my head boxed up. I consider my self an adult, decently educated, reasonably intelligent and capable of evaluating things and making decisions without following a paint by number agenda. I also encourage those around me to think, to understand and to have an open mind... To be an intelligent individual, not an agenda following koolaid swilling sheep.
Whether I or anyone else consider your beliefs right, wrong, or indifferent, what is important is that you have beliefs. That you make decisions based on your beliefs to guide your life. If you blindly follow someone elses map on your journey thru life, you will arrive at their destination, not yours. This is why I am so opposed to the mutant cut and paste that is so prevelant. You were born with and developed the ability to take in information from various sources, to evaluate the information, to choose what is important to you and act upon it. To do this effectively requires an open mind and a belief that you are intelligent enough to make your own decisions in life that will be beneficial to you. When you were a child you did what your parents told you. You are an adult, it's time to stand on your own two feet and not allow a party, a label, or the second comming of Barrack Limbaugh to be your parents and dictate your decisions in life.
These are my thoughts..my beliefs, do with them what you will.
