We could all use a little of that Charlie Sheen drug sometimes

I was at the local school budget meeting last week in my hometown. Its a small town only about 15k people between 6 towns in a 40 mile area with about 10k in my town, the biggest. but even in a close knit small new England town there exist close mindedness on a scale unbelievable. Mom-nos who doesn't live near me even heard about it. She posts about it here, http://www.hopefulparents.org/blog/2011/3/11/when-the-political-is-personal.html .

she puts it more eloquently than I can. She also doesn't live here and so has not had to spend the last week trying to find her happy place so that the lesson she teaches her children is not how to fillet an asshole but instead how to proactively and civilly achieve political change.
