You know, I have made some rather embarrassing mistakes with this diary. I remember being caught up in the wave of patriotism and I spent some time bashing France and Germany. I remember being upset with the protesters. I remember being ticked at the Hollywood Airheads who made what I still term to be Anti-American. I think we are lucky to live in this nation, and I'd rather live no where else.
Unless it would be an isolated tropical isle where I had 25 buff manservants at my beck and call. Heaven.
Anyway, I guess what I'm seeing now, is that if a person has guts to speak up for their beliefs, I can at least respect their right to do so. I don't have to agree. I don't have to live with them, or love them.
I guess that's why I couldn't cross the picket lines. It was exasperating, but often situations like this are for the greater good.
I will sacrifice for the greater good. I do believe in mankind. I do believe in the goodness of people.
I decided over time to not delete these entries because I wanted to keep documentation of my emotional and intellectual growth over time.
It's embarrassing, those rants. I ranted about no less than 50 things over the past 9 months. I'm not proud of all of them, but to delete them would do a disservice to myself because I have learned many lessons since the Genesis of this journal, and I want to remember them.
So, if you read back far enough, like to the first month of my journal, you may be tempted to laugh at me. I would understand this. But please know that I have changed my views somewhat.
