Wooo Who (That's _Dr._ Who, Thankyou!)

I just saw an announcement that the SciFi channel will be doing a new Dr. Who series, starting in March! I am definitely looking forward to seeing this. SciFi has done an excellent job with the new Battlestar Galactica series, and hopefully will do just as well with this classic series.
I must admit to a little bit of trepidation, however. SciFi is notoriously unreliable when it comes to quality. I still shudder at their adaptation of Dune, with the Batman tv series type cinematography (strange camera angles and single color lighting everytime they showed the Harkonen 'lair'). I couldn't finish watching the miniseries, it was so badly done.
Guess we'll find out soon. I'm keeping my hopes up for this one.

Seriously, I am a flaming liberal as are most of the people I know. This whole "personal responsibility" crap is some BS foisted on you by the right wing.

All the liberals I know are all about personal resp. Heck, I worked three jobs to put myself through college, fought for every job I've ever gotten and never took advantage of anybody. I'd say that describes most of my liberal friends. Um, we didn't grow up in privelaged, conservative households where everything was handed to us so we did what all poor and predominantly liberal (at least where I come from) kids did. We worked.

I do have a few strongly consertative friends. Quite a few of them are legacy children...good schools because of their mothers and fathers, easing into top jobs because of who they know, vacations in Tuscany paid for by mom and dad. Now that's what I call personal responsibility.

So, please, stop with the misninformed notion that because I don't care if gay people marry I don't take care of myself and my family. That's just silly. In case you were wondering, liberal is another way of saying compassionate. Look it up.
