Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

"A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures."

Sunday, May 21, 2006 :::
 

Cathy Seipp on why she became a Republican:
The reason I changed my voter registration in time for the 2000 election was I realized this would put an end to political canvassers knocking on my door. I hate strangers knocking on my door. And since Republicans never bother with my neighborhood?I'd estimate Silver Lake is more than 95-percent Democrat?that has nearly put an end to that.

It hasn?t been a perfect solution, and I sometimes still feel that familiar weepy sense of self-pity mixed with rage when naïve and / or determined souls march past the big "No Solicitors" sign on my garage, brushing aside the thorny climbing roses I keep untrimmed on the front porch for that very purpose, and (I still can never quite believe it!) knock on the door.
I wish it were possible where I live to approach the door from the inside without being visible to those on the outside. It makes it harder to pretend not to be at home.
