How do the X-Men break down in the Circle?

Getting Everything Set

I am still getting the hang of autoposting useing posterous. So I apologize if these posts seem repetitive. This is me on training wheels. Feel free to point and laugh.

Synching up my life

There is an awful lot that I need to organize in my life. There always seems to be more. And I have had enough. I am downsizing my stuff. Chunking what can be chunked together. And organizing what cannot be removed.

This includes my online interactions. So I am now posting through an autopost system. And although I am sure that this will take some editting to perfect, I think this is a step in the right direction.

This is only a Test

On Connections

 I've been noticing lately, that I have to preface a lot of what I say. I need to point out that simply because I disagree with this left wing political view, I am not a conservative by process of elimination. I need to explain that my rejection of these right wing views does mean that I am a member of the left wing progressive movement.

This happens to me all the time. Because I do not factionalize or pigeon-hole myself into one of the available categories on most issues, I am forced into a weird dream world in debates where my opponent is debating against his or her hallucination of me- one that often has nothing to do with what I have said, but everything to do with what my opponent believes their enemies will say.

I get frustrated when people argue with me against views I have not expressed.

Most people are not caricatures by nature, but I worry that our desire to pick a side is encouraging us to become caricatures willingly as the price of admission into the in-group.
