It occured to me today while talking with my manager that people that most Republicans I have met are pessimists while Democrats have been optimists. Both have very different approaches to life, love and war.

About Me
- Name: Kelli
- Location: Ridgefield, Connecticut, United States
Issaquah, Washington born and bred. It took two trips to New York and my heart broke when I had to return to Seattle after a vacation. Moved to NYC in September 2000. On September 11th, 2001, I became a New Yorker. Spent 2002-2004 in Chicago (regrouping) and met the best people and went to the best bars and saw amazing architecture but my heart pulled my husband and me back to the NY area. We now live in Ridgefield, Connecticut (45 min on the express train to Grand Central) where we can play tennis, enjoy the amazing beauty of this area and still be close to our love, NYC. No kids other than Betty the bulldog. We just bought our first home close to town where we can have a full-on organic garden (dream job: Union Square Farmers Market). We LOVE good food, good beer and sharing both with friends on a warm summer evening.

To add to this, I was just talking with my manager and although Lamont may want to stop government spending in Iraq and focus on strengthening the US economy and bring jobs to Connecticut. It was clarified that Connecticut's economy is based on governement contracts & military spending and therefore, no war means less jobs. Wow. I thought no war meant no lost lives. I wonder how the soldiers feel about that. Maybe they are in the battlefield knowing that what they are doing will allow an executive to take a vacation in the South of France for a month instead of a measley two weeks.
Honestly, is this enough to justify being in a war? Lieberman seems to think so. I don't think I'm the smartest pencil in the box but I can grasp common sense pretty well. Someone explain this to me, please...?
