And Karla I got just that image, that this could apply to a man or woman really, responding to almost anything. I finally chose politics mostly because I am experiencing an interesting time here in California. All those people who got hopped up on "Protect the family" Juice in response to calls from church leaders and well...mostly church leaders, regarding prop 8, are left walking in circles with nothing to do. They bought the ticket, took the ride and the end was unexpected and weird for them. They constantly are to be found outside supermarkets with sign-ups for further family protection issues that are not issues. They try to invoke family issues in PTA meetings. Like a kid who just found sex, they want to do this campaigning stuff all the time...but it's over. They need direction and frankly that scares me because we have an oiled and primed, connected group of people waiting to be told what to do. Anyone with slight con-man skills could take extreme advantage of that. Thanks Mitch.

Have we all been following a dream whose time ran out, with nothing left but the refuse and unpaid bills? A dream somehow silenced and forgotten. What we have lost along the way in pursuit of rainbows with their mythical pots of gold might never be replaced unless we find among the pieces a way to construct something new.

Nice flow of words and a timely topic. Reminds me of the old Dylan song, you used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat...ain't it hard when you discover that he really wasn't where it's at... Keep up the good work. -TLMW Good job, Grainne. Nice flow of words and a timely topic.
