My efforts to wean from politics are paying off. My consumption of television and internet news has declined dramatically in the past two weeks! I haven't turned on a TV news network since the weekend of Hillary's concession speech and don't feel any need to tune back in. I scan through realclearpolitics.com and take a peek at the NY times and Salon. That takes little time since I find few articles I'm interested in reading.
I do find myself wondering from time to time how I came to view myself as a liberal, how my politics were formed. Watching movies does provide a few clues. Odd to think about the films and books I've read through the years and how they shaped my notion of what it means to be a "good" person. I wonder, at times, if the basis of my politics is any more solid than the pop songs and stories that shaped the framework of my beliefs about what love is, or how relationships are supposed to work. It's all suspect to me now.
