I had typed a whole response to this post several days ago, but I was on my way out of town for several days, so I didn't want to post before returning. In my reply, I said that the way I see it, you directed this post at me because I started the thread, I don't always have the same beliefs you do and I work in the media. But I don't see why you should be 'worried' just because I think on my own and sometimes voice my opinions.

Similarly, I don't think in terms of "Conservative" and "Liberal" when I think about politics or our president. I don't vote along party lines, and I don't accept things as gospel just because they come from people who seem to see things the same way I do. I want to sort things out on my own, and I don't think you should get upset or worried about that.

As for the media part of your snub, it's nothing new, Nyperold. You're not saying anything I haven't already heard countless times, and will continue to hear for the rest of my life. It's people like you who are making me realize that I will be judged simply on the basis of my profession, and there is probably nothing I can do to change that. But each time someone does that, it makes me stronger. It makes me realize just how very much I need to think on my own and not worry when people make mistakes about me or about the organization in which I work.

After all, we all make mistakes, and we all judge others at some point in our lives.
