Wingless But Not Aimless

Ok, so I do listen to a lot of talk radio. I never thought I would be a talk radio junkie but I find myself leaving the AM on all the time no matter what they are talking about. Well, the lawn and garden hour is a little minotonous. But it's no secret that what is beleived to be the "Right Wing" of government philosophy, tends to populate most of the airwaves. What I find really funny about this is that am I supposed to be considered a Republican because I listen to these programs? Or perhaps worse yet, I actually have fun listening to them.

The mere thought of someone saying they are a Republican or a Democrat just kills me. I think it's utterly stupid. Why on earth would you blindly take on this name of representation for groups that could care less about who you are as an individual? Sure you can say I voted Democrat or Republican this year. But why run around town saying, "I'm a Republican"? It just doesn't sit well with me.

I will say that I voted for John Kerry in this last election, but I think I'm far from being a supporter of his. I know it's kind of cheesy, but I do consider myself an Independent and I will vote for whatever choice I feel is going to help the Nation the best at that point in time. It's obvious that people want to "belong" in this society. So what better way to ensure voter loyalty than to push people into groups that they associate thier identity with. That way it's all the more difficult for them to go different directions in the future.

Well I'm leaving my options open. I'll go whatever way the wind blows me today.

Right, Left or Dead Center.
