Well *sure* ya can. One of my biggest pet peeves about the Radical Right
(and there are several... no, many...) is that *everything* is a fund-raising
opportunity. Go far enough right, and NOTHING is done without a donation
expected... that hypocrisy alone is enough to make my cynical.
But I'm not in a ranting mood today, so I'll leave it at that.
Quite nostalgic actually... my son graduated this morning from elementary
school. The same elementary school from which *I* graduated. Afterward,
most of the fifth grade class met up for a party at the community pool, and I
couldn't help but remember when *I* was hanging out at the pool, watching the
boys do insane things off the diving board. Now my son's one of those
fearless types who was throwing himself into the air. I feel both old and
wistful now. And proud. I'm quite proud of him. *smile*
Ok, I'll shut up now.
Esp. since I can't even find a decent -joking- way of relating this to OTR...
? ;)
