re: #187 HappyWarrior

Well like some of you, I was pretty radical in my early days posting online but on the other side. I was a moonbat type. Posted at DU and everything. Supported Kucinich for president. I moved to the center for the second part of Bush’s second term and the Obama presidency has sort of pushed me back to the left some more again though I am more center-left now than I am left-left.

Yeah that was me, too. I’d hate to say that I’m less idealistic now, but I’m probably more accepting of the political realities. And I can look back and see some situations where my partisan blinders were in effect. I often wasn’t capable of determining which issues were really important out of all the noise.

I’ve also come to accept that there are people who know more than me about a great deal of stuff—amazing, I know. And I’m OK with that.
