With the exception of yesterday, I've done a pretty good job of keeping politics, religion, and geographic stereotyping out of my blogs. I'm proud of that. My friends are important to me and I don't want to risk alienating them simply because of the choices their parents made for them when they were small children. And now I live in a state that voted pretty much right down the middle. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Kumbaya, my friends, kumbaya.
