I would have thought you still believed -- you squawk like it.

Funny time!
I saw a George Carlin special on HBO, and he was revitalized. He was doing politics and seemed way younger and more alive than when I had last seen him.
He was companing about how the government is out of hand on abortion and was crazy into censoring TV and radio. He felt the administration was chopping into our personal freedoms left and right, and starting wars for no reason. I thought "well it's not original or funny, but at least he's coherent again."
Then he mentioned Reagan. Turns out the show was from the 80s. You guys are so clueless and blinder-visioned, that you just throw out the same tired complaints regardless of whether they make any sense at all.
Anyways, I was glad I wasn't on your side of the debate because if I was I'd have to admit how trite and basically empty in truth and value my entire political belief system had become.
Do you ever get bothered, or do you not ask yourself hard questions?
