But. I am 30 and I could tell anyone of any age what their blood pressure, cholesterol, resting heart rate should be…you get the picture. Because that’s the field I’ve studied. It’s not being snotty to say that I can tell a new mother how to breastfeed when I, myself, am not a mom. It’s just… I’ve worked in the damned medical field. I know my shit.

When you know your shit, you have a right to state it.

Also, AMEN to the stuff about the flickr Palin fan. Having recently become fascinated with Facebook, I’m also really saddened by how many people from my past went out an joined the “Fans of Palin” group or whatever it’s called…and yet, I’m one of those people who doesn’t feel intelligent enough to try arguing with them. Oy.

Like you, I just want people that vote to make informed decisions. It is sad that people are being called stupid if they are voting for one over the other. No one is stupid AT ALL. We have the right to believe and vote for what and who we want. But you should be making an informed decision and be able to back up your choice.

It is the uninformed people that scare me. Like the people I met at a party back in March who said that Obama was behind 9/11 and BELIEVE IT. I don’t even know what to say to those people.

Great post!

JESUS CHRIST. That chick on Flickr has me all riled up now. What a little honesty wouldn’t do for some people, huh?

And that’s the beautiful thing (for the other side) about the Palin pick. She’s so fresh that people can assign to her whatever they want/need to. Who cares that she doesn’t actually know…say…what Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are? We like her. And for many, that’s enough.

Just discovered this great blog, and will be back for plenty more.

Then she had the never to say this:

If you werent ignorant of why shes liked then why did you ask?

Anyway, instead of asking people why they like her why not google and see how you feel about her yourself. That would offend way fewer people and help you to make a real decision.

When I asked her why she couldn’t answer a simple question and then got annoyed and told her that she had her head up her ass and that calling me ignorant was totally pot calling the kettle black, she said this:

Hahaha omg how ridiculous… how many issues can one person have? How do you even make it through a day? I could see through your “simple question” from the beginning and it annoyed you so much that I wouldn’t give you my answers that all you could do is put me down and call me names. I’m sorry you couldn’t bully me into it.
