What the Cellar looks like to me

Undertoad · 10-31-2012, 10:46 AM

I don't even open the threads so after I've read the Cellar, it looks like this.

How do you feel about that? Are you curious about what's in there? Are you going to go back in later and read what you missed?

To sum it up, it's a bunch of the same old stuff. One thing of note is that Adak has stepped up as the new resident conservative. He's tireless. Really keeps the conversation going.

Adak is also practicing medicine.

I'm not curious because I am experimenting with giving up all forms of politics including voting.

infinite monkey · 10-31-2012, 11:29 AM

But will you give up valuable medical advice????????????

There is a lot of medical advice to be had in politics.

Undertoad · 10-31-2012, 11:38 AM

My advice is, post unto others as you would have them post unto you.

Ignoring something doesn't make it/us/me go away.

Undertoad · 10-31-2012, 11:40 AM

Did somebody post?

I'm with UT, but my excuse it it's not my politics, it's not my election. I do always vote, however. Forlornly, for the party which ought to stand for what I stand for but doesn't.

I usually click on threads that particularly annoy/bore the living fuck out of me in the 'new posts' section just to get them off the list.

Saddest post this year.

exactly like my screen looks, UTE... 'cept mine's grey....It took me a minute to figure out what the hell you were even talking about.

I've been ignoring those same threads

Good for you. politics makes you ... and most people... a dickhole. nothing good can come from it. arguing about it just causes polarization, resentment and petty behavior.

someone pull my finger

If you're sad because of what it says about the current situation, sure. If you're sad about UT not voting, I'd disagree.

If UT said he was going to vote for Obama, we would all (OK, most of us) say that's cool, you made your choice.

If he said he was going to vote for Romney, we would all (OK, most of us) say that's cool, you made you choice.

If he said he was going to vote for any other candidate, many of us would try to convince him he's "wasting his vote." But in the end, we'd say that's cool, you made your choice.

Having seen UT post about politics for years (decades), I know he's more informed about the political process than the average bear. If he's read the tea leaves and decided not to vote, then I for one say, "that's cool, you made your choice."

And I say that without a trace of sarcasm (which is unusual for me). No candidate, no party, is entitled to your vote.
