| Location | Suburbs of Seattle, WA, United States |
| Introduction | I live in the suburbs of Seattle, one of the most liberal cities in the nation. Home of "Baghdad Jim" McDermott. Largest city in a state that decided that it was just too much to expect voters to actually show up at a polling place, show identification, and prove that they were eligible to vote before casting their ballots. Instead, we went to an all-mail system. The argument was that it would save a few bucks. And, no, it won't increase voter fraud - what on earth would make you think that? There have been times when I've been sorely tempted to pull up stakes and move to the heartland - maybe one of those "flyover states" like Oklahoma - but I was born in Washington, dang it, I grew up here, and I happen to like the scenery enough that I refuse to concede the Pacific Northwest as a lost cause. I believe in God, and I believe in the existence of evil. I believe that there is an ultimate standard of right and wrong - it isn't merely what society decides it is at any given moment in history. And I believe that the Founding Fathers were pretty smart guys. |
