How have your political views changed over time?

They say that folks who look like me and have a similar background to mine are usually very liberal in their college years but grow more and more conservative as they get older. That did not happen to me. Maybe it was because I kept going back to college but for me it was the opposite. 

As my country has spiraled into a fascist abyss I have found myself growing more and more liberal. As many of my neighbors openly want to oppress more and more people, both fellow citizens and non-citizens alike, I have found myself wanting to grant more freedoms and rights and opportunities to more and more people who don’t look like me or have a similar background. As more and more of my neighbors literally embrace evil I have found myself feeling more compassion, openness, and empathy to those around me. Who woulda thunk it?

Unrelated to this questions, but coincidently related, I took an internet quiz yesterday. Remember internet quizzes? It was called the 4 Axes Test. One of the things it tested was whether your political leanings are left or right. Here are my results:

What is your all time favorite automobile?

View all responses

I am not a car guy. Usually my favorite car is whatever car I am driving. I love to drive. I’d drive everywhere if I could. I just don’t care much for the details of the car I am driving. The goings on under the hood never really phased me one way or the other.

We have a Kia Niro right now that I love. 90% of that love is because our little Kia is a hybrid and that pleases me. We used to have a Nissan Altima that I loved too. Years ago I had a Buick LeSabre that was a real winner.

There was one car though that stands out. It was 10 years old when I bought it used. It had countless issues and caused me a ton of problems and it basically disintegrated all around me. Apart from all of that though, it was a killer car. It is the one car that if I could go back in time and drive again, I would. What was this magical automobile?

It was a 1985 Ford Thunderbird. It had balls. It had history, even though the 80’s were not exactly a classic T-Bird era. I really loved that car.

I was going to post a photo of a 1985 Ford Thunderbird, but Google Images is failing me so you’re not getting a look this time. Maybe some other time.
