Apparently, I'm a flaming liberal.



I've always thought of myself as a staunch conservative, probably because I was raised as one. But I'm going through this Voter's Pamphlet (because I'm a good citizen), and I am really amazing myself. I'm discovering that I think social services are more important than cutting taxes, and I'm pretty sure that I'm risking being disowned for this.

I just think that these things are important. Healthcare, education, transportation services... they are what make our country a civil, pleasant place where people are safe and comfortable. I don't think that our taxes are unbearably high, and I think that right now, while our schools are struggling so much, is a dumb time to be trying to cut taxes. And fewer taxes aren't going to make politicians more responsible; the irresponsible politicians will still do dumb things, and there will be less left over with which to do good.

That's what I think. But if you don't agree with me, that's ok. If you think I will burn in hell for thinking this, though, that's not ok.

If you're thinking, "Jenni sounds like a smart, responsible citizen, and I want to follow in her carefully thought-out footsteps," look no further!
