So much to learn, so little time
Perhaps my story is like most people´s. Work 12 hours a day, claustral worries about bills and savings, planning how to plan your fiscal life to meet your eventual retirement when (you hope) at age 70 you´re not at the flea market selling items from your basement to pay the electric bill. Meanwhile you work many hours per day and you try to read a book in the bathroom and you drink a bit on the weekends and you get a flat on your pick-up truck that you have to fix. Days pass. You´re a liberal but it´s difficult to remember all the arguments for your position. You´re not a Daily Kosak. You can´t be. You´re tired in the evenings. The dog must be walked. Your wife fills you in, if you´re lucky as I am to be married to a liberal woman whose job gives her the spare time to read this site and others. Events - some shocking - pass you by while you were driving that forklift or nailing shingles on that roof. But you try to keep abreast of what´s going on in the world. And you try to vote smart.
I read recently that the average liberal blogger earns more than 100,000 per year. I wrote this to bring down that average.
