  • Sounds like you had fucking awful parents. Instead of letting them drag you down excise them from your life. You’ll hear, family this and family that. Fuck that. Horrible human beings are horrible humsn beings and the fact that they were sperm or egg donors doesn’t make them any less so.

    Hang in there, and use those parents to motivate yourself to be better.


  • I have espoused views in my life I’m not proud of, but I think the same can be said of anyone.

    Part of my journey was a search for intellectual consistency. Their are people of faith who are able to do that, I am not one of them. When it comes to politics, there are two contemporary thinkers (Ken White and Radley Balko) who forced me to re-evaluate my beliefs.

    I believe there are many Conservative thinkers who hold their positions in good faith. Sometimes they are even correct! I believe there are also many Liberal thinkers who hold their positions in good faith, sometimes they are right also.

    So to answer your question, I don’t think my values were bad, some of my thinking about how to implement those values definitely was though.

    As with most people we morph over time.
