DENVER -- What do black people think about this? Why do black people do that? Why doesn't the black community address this? Why haven't they fixed that?

All of those questions came to mind as I attended the Black Caucus meetings at the Democratic National Convention here.

They're also questions I get asked regularly by readers who readily volunteer that they are of the Caucasian persuasion.

What do short people think about this? Why do short people do that? Why doesn't the short community address this? Why haven't they fixed that?
What do disabled people think about this? Why do disabled people do that? Why doesn't the disabled community address this? Why haven't they fixed that?
What do gay people think about this? Why do gay people do that? Why doesn't the gay community address this? Why haven't they fixed that?
What do old people think about this? Why do old people do that? Why doesn't the senior community address this? Why haven't they fixed that?


Putting people in boxes isn't really my idea of solving a problem. Why don't we instead ask ourselves these questions:
What do I think about this? Why do I do these things? Why don't I address these issues? Why haven't I fixed them?

Yeah, putting people in boxes isn't a very valid idea, like they all think alike, or even all look alike or are the saem age with the same experiences and thoughts.

So what do transsexuals think? Or those of us who were transsexual? And while were at it, what do androgynes think about politics? CDs? >:D

androgynes think it's a joke.  I speak for all of them. I know they agree with me because it's in the minutes of our last meeting. "Politics is a joke", we said. Then voted to put it into our platform. One person voted 'nay', but we beat the hell out of them and chased them off because, obviously, they weren't one of us.

:P                                             ::)

Well I just figured that if someone had a different opinion than mine they were incapable of thinking at all.

I am sure it sounds racist, but I've discovered that people of all different colors of skin have brains that are gray inside!

Probably a good thing, Z. Sounds like Rebis has incited androgynes to acts of mayhem and allowing their lesser natures to rule them.

Especially electing Rebis dictator!! I mean .... :laugh: This is kinda like "Pat Paulsen for President" isn't it?!! >:D

But Rebis claimed e had your proxy, along with everyone else's! And now I've been kicked out and have sixteen hours left to decide whether I'm going to be male or female.  :'(
Oh well, I can always flip a coin.

I think it's time to elect a new president. I nominate myself. After all everybody knows that an outsider is the best choice to lead the sheep.

We do need a benevolent emperor.


I'm holding another meeting right now as the proxy of everyone who didn't make it here.

Great idea.  Can I be your campaign organizer, Nero?  All I would ask in return would be a cushy high paying government job.  Something that has no responsibilities and a big fat salary.  Maybe vice president.  Or court jester.  Oh wait, those are the same thing.
