Men's Group

Okay, serious question deserves a serious answer:

Fundamentally, my political views solidified at about age 12 and have remained essentially the same. One of my first memories of budding political awareness is seeing this puffy, smirking, marshmallow-faced asshole blathering on and on on my tv set, and every word out of his sanctimonious fucking mouth was pissing me right the hell off.

Later I found out his name was Jerry Falwell, and he claimed to speak for something called "The Moral Majority". I decided then and there that I must be part of the immoral minority.

On some issues i have gone from relative indifference (based more upon a youthful attitude of "it doesn't affect me" than an active opposition to he idea) to passionate advocacy: universal health care and gay marriage equality being two of those.

In terms of personal life, i wouldn't consider my changes 180s so much as growth, usually borne of life experience. I don't drink- haven't or a long, long time- but it took me a while to figure that one out. I exercise, because not exercising had consequences. When i was a very young man it was difficult for me to be monogamous and faithful - but I got all that out of my system well before i got married. (Good move.) etc.
