alright heres the deal.I literally lived on a mountaintop for a few years.above 10000 ft,no cell phone or computer.We drove 42 miles every few weeks to a real grocery store for supplies During this time the world kept spinning and Facebook got larger and people started to tweet and shit like that.I may as well have been living in a cave.So I lost any remaining social skills(though in my defense,I always was a bit deficient in that department) and lost all computer skills.A couple of times a year I would go on facebook and discover that people that generally would not be seen with me in my youth now wanted to be my "friend".OK i can be a live and let live kinda guy and I thought what the hell,they were no worse than me right....I often shudder when I reflect on my childhood.....iieeewww.Anyway I accept these friend requests from everyone, even people I do not remember.Fast forward a year or 4 and I get a computer and take a look at this Facebook page of mine and...freaking appalling.Who knew that many of my childhood acquaintances were now right wingers and seemed to expect me to join right in spewing hatred for our Muslim socialist atheist Rev. Wright following evil Christian fascist President who is gonna imprison all of us godfearing patriotic white folks who have never ever been helped by anyone and got everything we got by our own hands.Yessiree,They built this land on their own and were kind enough to take in all those black folks that got a free ride outta Africa and needed a handout(sshhhesh,some things never change,right?right?)Anyhew, we did this and no one else and now we are gonna suddenly be taxed to death.Forget the fact that we are screaming bloody murder about taxing inheritance while also claiming to have earned by our own hand every dime we ever got .Well I got a bit confused and more than a little pissed because I was raised with many of these people and for the life of me could not recall them ever paying our fourth grade teacher for all her fine work and i do not recall them giving the bus driver their piggy bank to pay for gas.OK OK you got my point 100 words ago but then again maybe not.Seriously,anyone who has ever met me realized pretty quickly that I am pretty freaking far to the left.Hell,did they not remember my book report that I did on Serpico(the Al Pacino movie was better than the book--rock on Paco).I did this in the second grade for fuck sake.So now I am at a place where I can do what I did at Thanksgiving with my relatives and keep my mouth shut(though one year I was forced to spend most of it in my moms car for agreeing with my Grandfather that I was gay which I am not but hey solidarity right?)or I can do one of the many things that I did growing up that often got my nose broken(when I couldn't flee ).I decided to let everyone know exactly how I feel.This?This is the end result.A man with horrible grammar who can never seem to stay on topic writing something more than a comment section on a Political website.It's OK though the average blog is viewed by about 1 person(atleast that was the # when I started this blog)I have another blog named craigs rant that will be more of a daily diary .Now i am not good at computers so I am gonna copy this and post it on craigs rant.If anyone actually ever reads craigs rant (mom that you?)the other blog is fuller rant at blog spot
