Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 It used to be that way here in Minnesota, no doubt about it, but the political climate is changing. There are so many people from elsewhere living in Minnesota now. Also, Wellstone is deceased, which was a great loss to the democratic party in our state. And although Ventura was not a Democratic governor, he wasn't a Republican, either. Whatever he was, people grew sick of his politics, or lack thereof, and I think this helped to get Pawlenty elected. At any rate, Minnesota is now much more conservative than anytime in the past. Personally, I've not much use for politics. My life seems to remain about the same no matter who is in power.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 This is how I look at it. I'm more or less responsible for constructing the particular world that I live in.

Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views...which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.
