Personal Politics

Yesterday, I was browsing one of my favorite webpages-- a movie review site that I occasionally disagree with but always am interested in. She had this comment on there, though, about politics that I disagreed with. I thought about this a lot because it bugged me to find political chatter with which I disagreed on an entertainment website. But then, here I am doing a similar thing with my own site. It's tricky..... Maybe it just drives home to me that sometimes we shouldn't express our own politics on our personal entertainment websites. But that is problematic too because of the whole "personal is political" thing. Everything is personal, and everything is political, and it's all part of what makes us growing human beings.

SIGH. I just know that I was turned off of what used to be an absolute favorite website. I don't know how I feel about it. She certainly has that right to her opinion, too, but my sick feeling about how irritated it made me to see her spouting off opinions that I think are insulting when I just went there to see how she felt about "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" and the new "Lord of the Rings" movie is too much to think about now.

And, in case anyone notices, through the trickery of the web, I have edited this blog to remove the actual content that I was complaining about. Why? Mostly because I think I am right and my website shouldn't be a place I put this type of politics too far out there-- and I also am tired of getting nasty emails from people who disagree with me. So you can just guess what the opinion I didn't like was. Nyah. Pfffhtt. Write me a poorly spelled email about how I'm censoring the media and that makes me a sellout and therefore an evil charlatan. That'll be a lot more fun to delete than something about the 2000 presidential election, and you can guess how I feel about that, too.
