What you write here is naive, and unhinged. I've already read enough of that over the last 8 years from others. For instance most of your complaints about the Tea Party are just plain wrong. They have been complaining and fighting congress on most of those things all along and were flooding phone banks about it. The problem is the people you are running interference for refused to listen, but they will be now, because of the Tea Party and no one else. You APPARENTLY don't know what you are talking about. Even your 20/400 hindsight is unimpressive. Of course, I could be totally wrong about you, but I'll never find out.

I went to extreme lengths to avoid it without having to tell the well-meaning fellow that if he touched me again I'd hurt him. And he just didn't notice. It was actually sort of amazing. How hard can it be to tell that someone doesn't *want* a hug as she's trying to dart around you with her arms full?<br /><br />How hard can it be, really, to notice that the person you're pointing your camera at isn't open to the camera?Synovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311191981918160095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-23458897714001065122010-04-07T23:05:06.636-05:002010-04-07T23:05:06.636-05:00To me, it's just very exciting to be able to p...<i>To me, it's just very exciting to be able to photograph people<br /></i>Thirty years ago, the college photographer turned one of my classes into a photo-op. The prof had taken us outside (probably for him to get the casual shots they like for school catalogs). For some reason, I found it upsetting and practically yelled at him to stop shooting me.<br /><br />If anything, I was even more un-photogenic with hair than I am now without, so I still can't figure out why he was aiming at me.

Actively bad ideas for getting anything constructive done. But I wouldn't tell you to do anything different.<br /><br />Even people who agree on goals don't agree on how to get there.<br /><br />What people should do is whatever *they* feel moved to do. Some will be ineffective. Some will be counter-effective.
