Can I just say.....
I have something to say, and I don't think I can hold it back any longer. Those of you who know me know that I am not very good at holding things back. I believe in truth at all times, even if when you say it your voice shakes and your hands tremble. But, I am pretty good at holding back my political opinions. Most people who converse with me every day have no idea what my affiliation is in terms of political parties or where I stand on most issues. The reasons for this are numerous: politics make for ugly conversations, I don't want to be part of the echo chamber, I really hate when people insult the appearance of politicians or their families as I find it immature and distasteful, most people (including myself) are often not informed enough on various issues to say anything worth hearing, and finally I try to maintain a peaceful and drama free lifestyle in which I don't have to ignore or unintentionally be rude to people who don't agree with my view of the world.
