wishlist

I'm politically challenged.

Our city is embedded in a republican convention, and a streetful of highly liberal protestors who believe that acts of civil disobience are the right way to make a point, and then whine and complain because the holding cells aren't nice conditions. I'm sure they would whine about the prisons too, once again taking no responsibility for their actions.

I'm not a republican, but I'm certainly not a liberal either. The democrats let me down. I want to live in a country where people defend their shores, but also believe in social reform. Without depending on the government to "fix" everything with programs that hand money out. I want to live in a country that really does give us our freedom to do as we choose within the boundaries of decency and law. And as for the far left that believes in becoming a socialist state, I guess they never paid attention in their political science classes. Or need I remind them that under a socialist state without the wealthy classes, there is no money to buy art, and without a buyer, there is no product. It is simple commerce, whether it refer to art, or clock repair, etc. Time for a few people to return to their textbooks and reread several rather informative passages.

In the meantime, my opinions are not of much value here - I'm neither a historian nor politically active - but I do know a lot about shoes. I should stick to what I know.

Here is something on my wishlist:
