Shocked & Disgusted

[UGAalum94]

I'm hoping that the criticism won't be as bitter and personal as it was with Bush and Clinton, but I think it's important to recognize that not all of Obama's projected policies as expressed are good or realistic ones. Apparently the campaign realizes it too as the community service plan goes from required to voluntary, etc, and whatever else the right-y blogs are mentioning today.

It does seem a little childish to assume that people who opposed Obama's political ideas should all get on board because he won. People should probably ask themselves if they feel that way about the outcomes of the 2000 and 2004 elections. If you told yourself anything other than "well, Bush is the President now, we need to get behind all of his policies," it seems ridiculous to expect people do to it for Obama. 6% doesn't seem like a mandate to me.

ETA: I see this was previously covered nicely by Dr.Phil (DSTChaos? Queen of Sheba) and others on the last page.

Conspiracy theory?

It was obviously a ruse that has fooled us all!

Seriously, some people stay away from the board for a while - I was gone for a year or so. It doesn't need to be something "suspicious."

She's bored and needed something to think about.

I have been gone for a year or so before, too. And I'll be gone again. The aliens that abducted me only released me for a week so I can post on GC. They are coming back to get me this weekend.

I think it does seem odd if someone who is a very frequent poster stops posting all of a sudden. I think there's a natural curiosity about why, not that anyone is obligated to explain.

And when Senusret notes one of these about the absence, it only dials up the mystery.

I already confessed that my alien abducters released me for a week. Take the rest up with them.

Are you suggesting that Senusret I is part of an alien conspiracy? It's like peeling back the layers of an onion.

LOL - or could it be you had more pressing matters to attend to? Maybe not since Greek Chat is the highest form of social contact, right.

It's either post on GC or sit in the corner of an empty room away from human interaction. Or that's what the aliens told me.

I guess you missed my "Not a sockpuppet or a troll. Just DSTChaos" signature.

No, I saw it, I just didn't know which name I should refer to you by. Which would you prefer?
