Politics can be mesmerizing to watch but in practice, at least on a personal level, not always productive.  And certainly for Scooter in the Sticks my goals run far afield from politics and controversy but rather a place to think about ideas that point toward a quieter place...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How sad that here in America it has become so politically incorrect to discuss politics.  Granted, anyone who does so is usually bound to encounter opposing viewpoints,  However, that has never dissuaded me from being politically incorrect -- and I am certainly open to hearing opposing viewpoints. I am sure that the members our federal political machine, and their owners, controllers and handlers, are quite happy to NOT have us mere useless eaters discuss such matters -- that way they can continue their ongoing assault and destruction of our Constitution and our Bill of Rights unabated.]]></description>

Had I been driving a car I would not have stopped even though I do drive that road from time to time.  It&#039;s so easy to get lazy in a car.  And isolated.

You must be a politician -- you&#039;ve effectively dodged being pinned down on your position on wood burning and religion!]]></description>

I&#039;m not a political sort so there won&#039;t be much here save for the argument about which color Vespa is the fastest or something like that...]]></description>

Yeah, I&#039;m pretty much with you.  It just generates stress.  When I was in cardiac rehab they would not allow CNN or the other cable news channels to play on the TVs -- causes too much stress!]]></description>

It really hasn&#039;t created a stink (no pun intended) but it&#039;s why I don&#039;t post anything political in the sense of elections.  I had some plans in place for some riding that I wanted to make sure I had some coverage hence the AMA membership.]]></description>
