If one more person tries to make my mundane, everyday lifestyle choices into a political debate or tries to indicate they are a political stance, I might just stop biting my tongue.
I'm trying to figure out how what I eat, where I shop and whether or not I recycle is a political statement, and even if it was, why it's okay to make loud remarks about it to someone you don't know even casually.
I mean, really.
To be truthful, while my life used to revolve a lot around politics, most of my politics now involves campaigns to get Woodstock to use the potty or eat something green or to get Pebbles to realize that blowing raspberries at 3 in the morning was only cute the first 1,476 times she did it.
Yet even at the height of my political awareness, none of it had anything to do with politics, politicians or party affiliation (or not - since I haven't been officially registered with a party in 10+ years).
Yes, I have opinions, but no I am not subliminally declaring them by what is, or is not, in my grocery cart.
Rant over. I feel much better now.
