bad mood
i'm still in a bad mood today. not as bad as the last three days.. but still today.
anyhow.
i'm having to jump through hoops to be able to collect signatures for campaign finance reform in the community village at the country fair.. for about 1.5 weeks i've doubted weather i want to go out to the fair this year.. weather the hassle of being gone from home and my job for 4 days are really worth it. in this space and time, i can tell you that my feelings are that it really isn't worth the hassle.
*sigh*
i move about in liberal community, i am attracted to groups that are counter culture because i believe that my political beliefs and their political beliefs are generally inline and that they want to make the change as i do. that the belief in wanting to connect, that the belief in creating community is as strong as mine.
*sigh*
what i'm finding at the fair is really people who are looking out only for themselves and the dollar. what i'm finding is that this whole idea of community building is really a facade. people aren't interested in community as a whole. no, they aren't. because if they were, the kind of witch hunt i heard started at the june village meeting wouldn't have happened. the looks on people's faces, the attitude of everyone involved. goddess.. it would be so different.
i'll be going to the country fair this year, only because i've made a committment.. but i won't go back next year. i'm really not into communities that are only skin deep.
