Am currently angry with Praeceptor, who told me to stop being so emotional about politics and to try and see the 'big picture.' Asked him if he meant the big picture wherein people die in senceless wars, or the one wherein women and homosexuals have no rights. He reiterated that I should stop being so emotional about politics.

Would have preferred roses. You have quite a guy indeed!

Um. Politics *is* personal. And emotional.

What's his "big picture" of non-emotional politics?

*sigh* @}-------------- virtual rose for you.

You can also send virtual flowers here! ([livejournal.com profile] aeditimi, I hope you got the ones I sent to you???)

I haven't sent virtual flowers in ages...thank you for the reminder.

Aw, thank you! I just got them. Glad you mentioned it, because hotmail thought they were junk mail and routed them away from my inbox. You have now been safelisted. And thanks again!

Nice virtual bud!

My husband was a political science major. He claims that politicians are all straw men and politics are a game that support a borader System, the True Enemy.

Oh, dear. I'm sure he has good qualities, but you have my sympathies. Being married to a poli-sci major in an election year can't be easy.

Of the people, by the people, for the people only works if enough people believe.

Shame one can't get blue roses, apart from the ones that have been left to soak up blue dye and don't last and are not inordinately nice.

Roses red and roses white
Plucked I for my love’s delight.
She would none of all my posies--
Bade me gather her blue roses.

Half the world I wandered through,
Seeking where such flowers grew
Half the world unto my quest
Answered me with laugh and jest.

Home I came at wintertide,
But my silly love had died
Seeking with her latest breath
Roses from the arms of Death.

It may be beyond the grave
She shall find what she would have.
Mine was but an idle quest—
Roses white and red are best!
