LJ, why even bother to make threads get approval if you're going to allow this ****?

Not that you personally deserve an explanation, you don't but I have heard the trolling charge. I dont take positions to get a reaction, I do it because of my beliefs.
I will always support unions. My father was a union member who lived through the abuse suffered in factories before workers had the right to organize. We made it through several layoffs and strikes. I was in the USW when I worked summers during college and afterward have been in a professional group that acts as a union for my whole career.
Several members of my immediate family have been in the military and I will always support the military against personal attacks and want to see our country protected against any external threat.
I was not brought up around guns, I think the world is safer with some limits placed on gun ownership.
I think my stands on the above issues form a view found in our political culture similar to those for example of Joe Leiberman. While Leiberman may share the physical characteristics of a troll, he is not one based on his beliefs.I might be a little more strident than him.
My social views tend toward the libertarian, supporting gay marriage, building casino,
not having a problem with drug legalization with the caveat for draconian punishment for those selling drugs to the underaged.
oh i do have an interest in HS football.
I think that about covers stands I have taken while I was on JJs and on OC.
You and others may disapprove of the content of my comments, I have been expelled, banned or excommunicated from sites before and I will in all probability have those actions taken against me in the future. Those stands are taken for reason of personal belief.

congratulations Iwearpants for making it to thanksgiving you fucking turkey.
