Well, it happened. I’ve been watching the comments total for a while, and today we hit the magic number of 50,000.
Fifty. Thousand.
Woohoo! Let the celebrations begin!
Given the frequency of his appearances here, it’s appropriate that comment #50,000 was posted by Art. Here it is:
I made a "D" in political science 101 in college. That pretty much describes my interest in politics over my entire life. I was an Animal Science/Agriculture major in college and when I finally started taking courses in my major my GPA shot up and I actually made the Dean's list for a couple of quarters. I have family who are endlessly fascinated by politics and they shame me into voting but I do it for them, not for me. Me? I could care less. Politics to me is sort of like a pendulum and swings back and forth and is just something I have to put up with? I was born mid 20th century during the Eisenhower administration and since that time have lived and managed to survive under all flavors of politics. People tell me all kinds of stuff about how it's going to affect my life but so far? Not so much. It doesn't seem to be any worse now than it was when I was growing up, especially during the 1960s when people were getting shot and they made us duck under our desks to save us from Atom bombs? Heck I even remember the Cuban missile crisis and how freaked out people were about that? And Vietnam was even more bizarre. The Universe seems to have a never ending smorgasbord of separation for us to experience in this life and I don't expect it to ever be "peace and love" in this life? Like my mom used to say to me sometimes, "life ain't a bowl of cherries you know kiddo!"
I certainly never expected that this humble blog would draw this much commentary when I started it two decades ago. So, for all those, past and present, who contributed to this total:
