SOME FOLKS LOOK at the world and don't like what they see. Or what they think they see. Or whatever. A common way of coping is to imagine a better world, to describe it, then decide how to achieve it. In other words, they become preachy, screeching liberals.
A more conservtive approach is to simply like the world the way it is, or perceived to be, to accept it without complaint. The point is, whether people basically like or dislike the world, responses to it are varied and endlessly fascinating.
The conservative accepters are to be envied. They dive right in, succeed, and seem to enjoy every minute of it, withoug complaining. Only when they suspect that their beloved status quo is threatened by the sheer stupidity that all liberalsim is, which is naerly always, do they protest. But beware, for when thus confronted, which, again, is constantly, their protestations are most vehement.
Liberals are dreamers, fantasizer. if the world they want doesn't exist yet, which is always, they just make one up. Hence the liberal reputation for dwelling in unreality. Of particular interest in this regard are the free spirits among us, hose who describes worlds of such an unusual nature that it
almost seems as if said free spirit dwells in sheer fantasy. Chance are, you have met one of these dreamers. Or visionaries, take your pick. If you haven't, its your loss. We speak here of course of the extraterrestrial abduction crowd, the crop circle recipients, those cattle ranchers who report
finding their stock dissected with unwordly clean precision, and all the numerous websites on which fortunate folks appear to be channeling spirits and alien beings. Sometimes, you just plain ole get jealous of these folks, and their marvelous experiences.
Ate these people so disenchanted with the world the rest of us live int hat they go to such lengths to invent their own? Maybe, but bear in mind that, in a very true sense, we all live in our own worlds.
And who's to say which of these is "real", and which fantasy?
Well, I'll openly admit i do not like the world i see, or think i see. and yet, i can't seem to see any real alternative, much to my regret. Either I'm not very observant, or not much of a dreamer.
