I'm having a difficult time avoiding coming in and writing about what my dad and I have been talking about. I'm not sure why it's so wildly fascinating...wait...yes I am. My father is wildly fascinating to me because I can almost see his mind working through ideas, and it works a lot like mine. Talking with my dad allows me to understand and experience the conservative viewpoint, because I can put myself in my dad's shoes and think my way, step by step, from Nature Loving to Voting for GWB. I don't agree with a lot of his ideas, but I can logically understand how they all connect to and ignite each other.
I promise to post in a not-dad-related way soon, but I should mention that I have high hopes for the liberalization of his cranky old heart. He's discovered that he really likes the Real Change newspaper, particularly the poetry. Who would've guessed?
