TayTay often says: why are you here? and she has a point (a big, big point). The real question is not a political man or another, not even Obama . Nobody is a saint. Nobody is going to represent our views 100 % of the time, far from it.

It is the things we hold for important, that we want to be change so that there is change. There are a few that are dearest to my mind than others: My top issue is and has always been a sustainable development that will allow the Western countries to keep their level of living (improving it for the poor and very poor) without oppressing and dominating the rest of the world for our comfort. Now, I also live in the real world and this means that there are some issues where I will focus more, like energy/global warming, natural resources, healthcare, and foreign policy
I happens that I think Kerry has the right position (or at least a good one) on many of these options and I respect and like that, so I know, and have known for a while that he (or Boxer, Feingold, Sanders, Kennedy) do not represent me on every single issue.

I understand that you need a rest. People get burned out when blogging and it is necessary to reconnect with the real life. I just hope that you stay in contact, but, as I was saying the other day (and I was not talking about you), people need a life.
