That seemed to be a personal complaint, that you aren't appreciated no matter what you do for people. Something you've undoubtedly felt all your life.

But then all at once it turned into a political attack. It seems that if one doesn't agree with the selfishness and greed built into the Conservative point of view, they have attacked you. No matter how hard you work for them, no matter what you do. At least that's how I read it, and I hope I'm wrong.

I, personally, have my doubts about Conservatives, and how they are willing to throw so many people under the bus. At least those at home. And they are willing to shoot, bomb and maim in other ways innocent people with whom they don't agree abroad. Torture 'em and lie about it. I do think there is something missing in those folks. And I have Conservative friends, one bought and gave me my little RV, and I think there's something missing in them.

I have very strong opinions which I express around here. I'm tolerated for having those opinions, and not liked for the way I express them. That's a price I pay. I'm extremely left-wing, not by choice but driven by a conscience, compassion and empathy. And the response to me is a reasonable response from reasonable people. I don't blame them.

We all train others to respond to us the way they do. Accepting responsibility for that is what adults have to do.

You can do whatever with your panties, Jody, but I don't think I completely understand you. At least I hope not.
