You know, it just isn’t for me.

I’ve thought about it, even written a few posts and shared some political cartoons.  But at the end of the day, I just have trouble working up the energy to write about politics.  I think there are two reasons why.

There was once a time when running for public office was seen as something honorable, a chance to serve one’s city/county/state/country.  But now, ideological differences notwithstanding, except maybe on the local level I don’t think there is a politician out there who truly has their constituents best interests in mind.  They all work for special interests and only care about donations and re-election, often using fear and/or negative campaign tactics.  I have trouble defending both sides of the political/ideological spectrum.

Also, I’ve wavered in my political leanings over the years, but generally identify as a moderate.  On some issues, I’m strongly liberal especially on some social issues, but on fiscal and other matters I’m fairly conservative.  While I certainly have my convictions, on many issues I can understand and appreciate both sides of an argument.  For many issues, it’s all about perspective, and I try to remember that not everyone shares the same perspective as me, and that doesn’t make either of us a bad person.

So if you’re interested in (hopefully) interesting pictures for my Project365, random posts about our fun and games as swingers, half-nekkid pictures of us and the occasional serious post, please hang around, I’d appreciate it.

But if you’re looking for politics, this is as close as I’ll get….
