ann arbor kerry meetup
finally downtown and available on a thursday night towards the end of
a month, we attended a kerry meetup
here in ann arbor. ok, linh organized the outing, and i thank her. i have
to admit i felt out of place. first, i'm not enthusiastic about
kerry, although i do expect he'd do a much better job of being the US
president than the other guy on a number of the points that matter to
me (and all of us). i just don't think he has all of the right positions
on some of the newer, emerging issues (nor does the other guy, for that
matter). secondly, ann arbor is an old liberal city, with many of the
hippies quickly becoming dinosaurs. much of the younger element of the
city has gone much like the rest of america (conservative, defending
the family and all that ...), so some of the night was annoying dealing
with old hippies. never been a big fan of hippies, i just find they
don't get things done in any reasonable timeframe. never mind the
fact that they can't articulate a platform to sell to the (approximately)
10% gap between bush's approval ratings and likely voter polling numbers.
in short, this isn't the kind of thing i want to get involved in. i want
to make the world a better place by getting involved in policy and
shaping those sorts of things, i just don't see it being done through
this sort of thing.
