Reply #48: I have to agree

I consider myself to be rather forgiving, but I see a LOT of labeling of Republicans as "gap-toothed, redneck, gun-totin', beer-guzzlin', NASCAR-watchin', idjits" as if this describes everyone who voted for Bush. I'm sorry, but it just isn't so.

I feel the best way to describe how I feel about the people here is related by telling what happened to me one time in my therapist's office.

Early in my therapy, I was telling her that I wanted to be like the other people at my apartment complex: playing around the pool, drinking, not having a care in the world. She told me to get out of her office. I ask why, and she explained it this way:
"You're just like those other people now, except that you KNOW you have a problem, and you're willing to work on it. They have the same problems you have, maybe even more, but they don't recognize it, and don't want to do anything about it. They are afraid of what they might find out."

I think that most of the people here are good, honest thinking people not afraid of what they may find out. Also, we are not afraid to do the work that needs to be done.
