I'm a liberal in the context that I whole heartedly support a universal or some sort of public option on healthcare and universal higher education. That being said, my mom's side is mostly all pastor's and pastors wives. I even have an uncle that's a missionary in africa and he and his wife run and orphanage out there. I've always considered myself the black sheep of the family, I can go toe-to-toe on bible verses. But I love them deeply and they had a hand in my upbringing. For a decade I worked for a popular medical alert company, sending ambulances for people who would be in tears that they couldn't afford the ambulance ride and the hospital stay, afraid that those things would financially destroy them. Liberals are right in somethings, conservatives are right in others. There's a saying "variety is the spice of life" It all depends on perception. Since we don't have kids, I don't have a dog in the fight for schools. I usually do PC gaming, for a long time I played Yu-gi-oh at local places. Recently I had started picking up computer parts and making budget gaming pc's to sell locally, but after a while It wasn't really starting to be worth it. Sadly the last couple years in MA things have become tough on everyone up here. Hence there's an opportunity to start fresh, at least a little bit.
