GrandmaBear and I just got back from manning the Kerry booth . . .

[Jack Rabbit]

. . . at the county fair.

Ask us anything.

[TiredTexan]

1. How'd it go?

Any repubs coming around?

[Jack Rabbit]

2. It went fine

We took some donations in exchange for some buttons and bumber stickers and registered four or five voters in two hours.

[Raven]

3. Wonderful! Remember those five people you registered...

on Nov 2nd, they will make a difference!

[Jack Rabbit]

5. We aksed everybody to whom we spoke to be sure to vote

I'm sure some of them aren't voting with us, but we asked them to vote anyway.

4. Please! Tell me something positive about your experience

as an antidote. I'm at the library and I looked at National Review magazine out of curiousity. (Nat'l Rev-eeeeeuw- I'm feeling a little ill!)

[Jack Rabbit]

6. I did

We collected some donations, gave away some campaign parphanalia to people who said they were voting for Kerry and resigesred a few voters.

That is a positive experience.

[MaryBear]

10. More than half the people who passed by

claimed to support Kerry, or at the least, to oppose Bush. Some apparent opposition members who went by were funny. We watched them go by, and as they realized which booth we were in they quickly averted their eyes. Some even changed direction. Most of the folks we saw were very positive, though. And I enjoyed actually doing something about the situation besides complaining about shrub.

7. Is the Yolo County Fair still free?

Jeez, Jack Rabbit and Grandma Bear, I forgot all about the Yolo County fair this year... I assume it runs through the weekend? If so, I will visit the booth on Sunday and pick up some good stuff (although I'm secretly hoping it will all be gone by then). ;)

[Jack Rabbit]

8. It's free after you pay $5 to park

!!

[MaryBear]

9. I "staffed" it, JR.

You may have manned it, but I staffed it. You staffed it, too, in fact.

By whatever terminology, it was a very good time.

11. Why not use

gender neutral language?

[Jack Rabbit]

12. Because

. . . gender-neutral language emasculates English.

[MaryBear]

13. Tsk!

I would say it needs to be emasculated, but I've sold out and want to get along.

On second thought, what we all need is the freedom to be whomever we are, and not bound by gender roles, but able to enjoy them as we please. And language shapes thought shapes behavior.

Why does Bro Buzz think we were at Yolo County Fair? Bro B, would you stop outing folks? :hi:
