I believe that well-to-do professional retirees are being exposed to the realities of the modern American workplace as a result of the health care reform effort, and they don’t like what they see.

The Bush administration is being widely denounced as a failure lately. But:

- They weren’t, really: the "failure" itself was a conservative goal

- Lots of Republicans are still in office, and Jeb Bush is apparently planning to run for senate (and his chances are thought to be good)... so we dare not dismiss them.

My biggest fear is that even we "liberals" don’t fully "get it" with regards to just how radical and destructive conservative philosophy is. If we don’t educate the public, we’ll be fighting them for years. And we’ll be spending lots of energy on the wrong issues: those wedge issues Republicans are so adept at using to obscure their main goals.

Elfrijole’s "An Atheist’s Thoughts At Christmas" ( http://www.dailykos.com/... ) was excellent, and pretty much captures how I am (or try to be) in my regular life. I highly recommend this diary. I must say, however, that I am struggling with his statement "I will not mock or devalue your faith". I am often concerned that by not questioning people’s faith, I am silently complicit in perpetuating a deception that is detrimental to society.

I haven’t seen any comments on Hollywood’s impact on the election, and perhaps it’s because it’s so obvious. But: bias and prejudice don’t disappear overnight. People often need to be shown a vision of how things could be. And that vision has to be prevalent enough to seem normal, so that we are willing to accept it.

Saturday, rented "estate" house in the wine country of Sonoma, the wedding. The two brides, plus numerous family members and friends. Lots of kids: of the siblings of the brides and their friends. And the daughter of the brides: biologically by one bride and my partner. And her two half sisters sharing the same paternal parent, with their separate mothers, one with her partner.
