Am I right, Amunet? I find it so revealing that you didn't actually tell us what you reall do, but rather you only bitched about me assuming you don't do anything. I am also amused at the fact that you didn't even address my calling on your bullshit bluff that America was once a perfect democracy. You rather went to a bitch fit in which you only blamed me for assuming too much about you, and not about (and this is important) being wrong about you.

Sigh.....
Alan,
I helped found and volunteer for a national based program that helps kids who have the desire to join service type careers, it's called the "Explorer's" program... and the one I helped found is in the NH area called the "Explorer University" which is a college like program in a para-military environment that lasts a weekend but usually takes a year to plan out. It's held annually in the fall. I've been with them since the first year 5 years ago.
I also helped with a local MA charity that my label put together to fight and fundraise for three organizations, with a compilation album, and all sales will completely benefit these organizations. They are:
The Immune Deficiency Fund,
The National Ataxia Foundation, &
The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation
Check them out and donate if you feel like contributing.
My label "RMR Music" is the site for this compilation called "Project Cure"
One of our artists, Hope Rising, is the main founder of this compilation along with the RMR label owner, Mark Eshbaugh and she started this program because she has had to live every day of her life with children that suffer the diseases she fights so hard against.
As for environmentally, in my home I try to use energy efficient lighting, recycle, reusable bags, I do whatever I can on a small level, help clean up, etc... I may not be the green party poster girl, but with what I can afford to do, I do.
I'm tired of this pissing contest Alan. I have nothing left to say to you. Just that you should be careful in assuming that someone does nothing when you have no basis for truth in that statement, so to avoid looking like an asshole, keep that opinion to yourself.
and I'm sorry for blowing up at you yesterday, I shouldn't have said some of those things, I let my emotion get the best of me. So I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings or ego or whatever for speaking out of line.
Thanks.
Also, Solumina, I would like to try to get involved again in local politics, I used to write the meeting minutes for the Town Selectmen a few years ago, and I didn't like it back then because there was a lot of abuse of power, but I'm in a big city now so I'm sure it's different, less bs stuff here. I don't know. Thank you for the suggestion.
in conclusion...
I may not do everything that I could possibly do, but not for lack of trying, I'm human, I make mistakes, I'm wholly willing to admit them or to try something different. My experiences thus far have not been anything less than disheartening in the political field.
We'll see what the future brings.
Amunet.
