(1) I don't think it's right to take pot-shots at a man who, for all intents and purposes, can not defend himself.
(2) I don't think it's right to shout out all the troubles with a system, but to offer nothing constructive as to fix it.
(3) I don't think it's right the way sex is thrown around in the media and society in general.
(4) It bothers me how senslessly sexual some people can be.
(5) It's discouraging to imagine that my values hold little esteem not just in The World, but often even among those I care for.
(6) It's disheartening to think that, sometimes, people just don't want to hear what you have to say, for good or for ill.

I had more to say, I thought....

5) andrew, your values are a huge part of why i look up to you as a person (not just in height difference) i know this doesn't mean much, but they way you hold true to everything you say and believe is just amazing and extremely inspiring and encouraging.
6) i have never heard one single thing out of your mouth that i am not completely interested in hearing. i could sit for a whole day jsut listening to you talk. when you came to visit and were talking to katie about religion and whatnot, that was one of my most enjoyed times i've ever had. everyhting you say is intelligent, backed, fair, and just outright true. its because of all ive heard you tell me and even what you've told rachel and katie that i have such a wonderful role model in you. so, in short, please...please keep on talking, its something for me to look forward to every day.

(5) *nuzzle* I love you, Mere. You flatter me, but I love you.  ^_^

(6) Oh, don't worry Mere, I don't mean it like that... I've got trouble, sometimes, though... I think it's mostly a personal problem, but I'm half-afraid that people aren't interested in what I have to say sometimes -- not on interesting things like that. I'm never afraid to express my opinions (except on the occasion that I'm afraid I'll hurt someone, but I typically say it anyways -wince- ). It's more a matter of me expressing my feelings... I donno, it's silly, but it boils down mostly to the fact that i'm afraid people don't want to hear that I care for them or some such.
^_^;;  I'm such a weirdo.

But yes, one of my favorite times when I was up there with you ladies was when me and Kate were chatting. I just love... discussion. I can't get enough of it. I'm afraid I frustrate Rachel, and maybe even Kate, but it's not even that I want to 'win' -- I'm interested in learning, and, I don't know -- I just love discussion, be it with someone on The Other Side or just bouncing around ideas with like-minded people, y'know...?
