The media skews news and depending on your political belief, it's easy to find a media that supports your belief. I'm assuming Fox is your news of choice. Of course, I don't watch Fox because it doesn't correlate with my beliefs. Yet to each our own because I don't judge.

I am a retiree who has an advanced degree. I'm in the 99% and live here in The Villages. I am not a druggie, hippie, yahoo, or doper. I do not smack my partner nor do I knock my partner to the ground. I don't have a little head (at least I don't think I do) nor am I wimpy or try to create chaos. I also do not consider myself part of a drama group.

I am well respected among my peers. I am a board member of a professional group club. I have grown children who are productive and successful. I have grandchildren whom are the sunshine in my life.

I may be your neighbor whom you socialize with and like...being unaware of my stance because I don't discuss it for fear of getting into a nasty debate and being judged.

Don't judge me because I believe in, support, and participate in OWS. In fact, I will be at LSL tomorrow night protesting. Come visit our group and talk to us. I may even hug you...because I don't judge you even if we disagree.

We are individuals who can believe however we want. I am not going to get nasty and call you names because I am on opposite sides. It's too bad all of us can't accept opposite points of view without putting nasty tags or words to each other.

Shame on you!
