About all the inevitable campaign ads, with candidates proclaiming their “independence” from Washington D.C., how “I’m not of The Beltway” and whatnot:
I hear a great way to make sure that you don’t become a member of a group is to not attempt to join it. Sounds crazy, but I’ve tested it out for myself, and it works! There was this local group, and I didn’t want to join it, so I made it a point to not enter their meeting place and sign up. I even went so far as to not bother to find out where they met, and that helped a lot.
I had to chuckle at this. I had a similar “thinking out loud” moment the other day watching one of these commercials.
“Tired of the same old politics? Well, I’m not, and I want a piece of it.”
