January 28, 2008 -- Hippies and Liberals are very big on Choice, or at least very big on talking about Choice. The problem with Choice that they hate knowing that one day you have to quit standing at the fork in the road and set your foot on either one path or the other. And that means you must relinquish your trip on the other path.
Liberals and Hippies hate the whole idea of "Choose ye this day whom you will serve." They want Choice, but they don't want to Choose. So they stand there at the fork in the road waiting for somebody else to magically make it possible to have their cake and eat it too...and crying loudly when making a Choice means you get one thing but not the other. If you spend your allowance on candy, you cannot spend it on batteries for your iPod. If you spend 15 minutes taking a shower, you cannot spend that 15 minutes Instant Messaging your Main Squeeze. If you spend your paycheque on car payments, you cannot spend it on rent. If you take off work two hours early to watch Susie's ballet recital, you cannot spend that time preparing your client for tomorrow's court date.
And if you vote for a Black candidate because he is Black, you cannot vote for a White woman because she is a Woman. (Void in Chicago, of course, or if you are dead.)
Hippies want Choice, but they refuse to believe that the day will ever arrive, and indeed is actually here, that they actually have to Choose.
