Next thing you know, hippies will be tossing flowers

Gee, how the world can change ... sparrabethers defending Will Turner in the snake pit, Hillary Clinton supporting Barack Obama for president, me winning an argument yesterday morning against a Bush supporter, and now Pat Buchanan fully denounces the Iraq invasion on "The Colbert Report?" (To be fair to Pat, he has been building to criticism of Bush for a long time.)

But I think the scariest tilt to my world by far is probably that my parents actually mostly now agree with my politics.

Consider me the opposite of my avatar in this case ...

Ha! Swore all my life I'd never have kids, never wanted them, didn't even LIKE them. And wham-o. I have three.

Course I was almost 30 by that time. Still not fond of kids, but now that they are college age, I find them pretty neat to know. And much more political savvy than their mom.

Never thought of child bearing as something defining, just a hazard to be avoided if possible. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but would have been content and complete without them as well.

An interesting side. Being a resident of a college town for most of my adult life, I found moving here, to the backwoods so to speak, to be a real eye opener. Teens having babies, no education beyond high school, it's shocking. I guess I lived in a liberal, intelligent cocoon for too long.
