I know you are politicaly passionate, with all your heart, it's one of the things I admire about you.

I wasn't meaning to make your passion seem misplaced or any less significant when I said that making life & death decisions gave me a different focus. Too many times in history we have seen that freedom of information and speech can be a life & death situation.

I was meaning that because of the gravity of the decisions I make in my work, when the day is done I seek escape. I immerse myself in family & friends almost actively seeking out frivolous fun and avoiding politics and reality in general. I guess it's my coping mechanism.

Can I just say too, I admire that you pushed so hard to get a big company like AOL to amend their policies and face up to their social responsiblities. ♥
