I've always been a bit of a news hound, but I'm not into politics. I tried to join-in on the festivities, but quickly lost interest. Not because it isn't interesting, but because of the hypocrisy involved. After years of studying occult science, I began to view the left/right paradigm in an unconventional manner. I've always been somewhat unconventional, so this was not a surprise to my peers. I view truth and logic as the ultimate arbiters of reality... thus, politics (and religion) are rendered incompatible with my thinking process. I identify humanity as genetically engineered carbon-based vessels, charged with a supernatural life-force of undetermined origin. I believe our "mission" on this planet is to take care of one another, regardless of physical differences, in whatever manner that is acceptable to the individual.
