Re: Sweetheart

Thanks Donna.  Liberal commie, hey? LOL!  I think that when I first came to CZ, I was at the end of my card carrying days.  My leftist social leanings always came from compassion for the less fortunate, but I became disillusioned with seeing politicians in mansions whose energy bills equaled entire towns tell us that they knew best how to run our lives and tell us what to do - and soon I also saw that socialist welfare did nothing but perpetuate poverty and crime and keep the people enslaved and dependent on their ruling elite "superiors".  My disdain for the Republican Party came because I viewed them as the servants of the wealthy who could care less about the middle class and those less fortunate.  To a great extent, I still feel that way - but see now that it is really just two different voices of the same puppet masters.

Once I thought, either way the middle class gets the shaft.  The Democrats take our money and give it to the welfare class and the Republicans take it and give it to the rich.  I figured that the rich already had plenty and if I was gonna get robbed, it might as well be for the benefit of some who needed it.

That still sounds good on paper, but in the real world is altogether too simplistic.  As I told Speedy, the journey at CZ can be an eye opening one - especially if you are willing to suspend all your preconceptions and conditioning and simply investigate on your own with an open mind.

The journey through mainstream medicine and natural alternative has been much the same.
