So, the center people, true independent people, say, like me, tht voted for Gore, then voted for a Rep. Senator, a Dem. Rep., a Rep. City Council member... I am either wishy washy, or I vote for the better person for the job.

Of course, there is the third posibility that you don't know anything about the people you're voting for. Not that I'm accusing you of that, just that it would also fit the description.

Go for it, vote by your conscience and not party allegiance. It's too bad the rest of us get so caught up in what side we're on we almost always refuse to change sides.
Wait a second ... I voted for Erlich for Councilman ... he's a Republican ... the fuck?!

No Omega, what really is the case is that anyone who votes differently than you or has a different view on life and the priorities thereof is just big, hairy, stupid and dull-witted.
So much for the diversity of life. Pardon me whilst I go lobotomize myself to be able to think like Omega.
For anyone not "getting it" the above is sarcasm.

Oh, I just know...see all Democrats...pish paw, everyone who doesn't believe what Omega and Fo2 do, are the progeny of Godzilla sans that really cool radiation breath.

Omega, you might want to consider USC, we're chock full of rich conservative right-wing Christian bastards. But of course, you'd have to put up with all the liberal professors.

Just exactly what species of dinosaur ARE you?
I mean, everybody ELSE with more than a walnut-sized cerebral cortex already knows that Omega's and my beliefs are FAR from being similar enough to lump in a sentence like THAT one... or have we so soon forgotten the whole GOD thing? ("The God Thing"... that should be a movie title, don'cha think?)
Tora: make no mistake: I LOVE my job. I just don't get paid a fair wage for doing it, that's all. And that may change. And I gripe about it a lot, but I just do that to relieve tension. When I gripe, I'm okay. It's when I clam up that people should start worrying.
Why don't I do something else? To be honest, I've painted myself into a corner, jobwise. The best library jobs are in schools, but for me to get the student teaching credits I'd need, I'd have to quit my current job - and have NO money. And no job to come back to, should the teaching not pan out.
As for other jobs, I made those decisions when I was in college and high school. Truthfully, my major problem was that I was unfocused, lazy, and unambitious. Telling a kid at an early age "you can do anything" isn't always a motivator, especially when the kid hasn't a CLUE what he wants to do. (Actually, I wanted to be a palaeontologist, but I'd have had to go to Colorado for college, and there's about 5 job openings in that field in a DECADE.) I started off in engineering, but I hated math (I could do it, I just didn't like it) so I switched to English, because I've always liked books and reading and writing. I was going to write the Great American Novel (Fantasy or SF)... but then I realized it MIGHT be a good idea to be able to EAT while doing so. So I went to get a MS in Library/Information Science, because it was more books and reading and so on.
I still write, but not as much. Just when I'm really inspired. The Fantasy Epic is proceeding slowly... I can't figure out who to kill off at the end.
