Connections...

It's national election season and time to rethink my position. I am not really that fond of politics but being a concerned citizen requires that at least I should pay attention to what is going on in the government.

It was 1978 when I first had my taste of what American politics is all about. Thanks to my first Republican friend, now deceased. He did not say much as far as the how, why, what of being a Republican, he just lived it. I observed him and I gathered a lot of pointers.

I do consider myself a very conservative democrat and I do admire a republican who is somewhat slightly liberal.
Too bad that in America we are only made to choose one or the other party.
