but it was addressed to redstar. Glad to have your response, too.

The main points with me are always "what is the goal?", and "how do we get there?".

I didn't get that either, same as poemless.

As for what I do, I do what I can. I work with my values, which once got me a quick ticket to oblivion at one employer, who was looking for analytical cover to outsource a whole department of 60 workers to India that I refused to give, strategically enough that one of my superiors lost a shitload of face and I essentially lost my place there, though that department didn't. Have the letter I got from them, when I resigned, framed. That's ok, never did read the free subscriptions I got from working there anyhow.

I'm also politically active, have volunteered plenty, especially before kids, been caucus chair more often than not at my Democratic (DFL here) precinct, when I go there rather than elsewhere (did the Green thing back in the '90's, more in the back seat than the front). Give some of them money, too, when I can, though I'd say there are more worthy places to donate to, and I do that as well, as I make a decent living. Not that volunteering for the Democratic party or giving them money is worth shit, in honesty, worthless fucks that they are by and large.

We all do what we can, I have four kids being raised correctly, imho that's probably enough right there, given your average lefty has, what, 0.6 kids?

Thanks to both for answers. Raising 4 chilluns correctly is a full-time, socially responsible job without doubt.
