People who are involved in whats going on in the world with brains,humor,& talent, people with vision ...... and people who are kind, care about animals, politics and our planet . have animated discussions about books, ideas, films, art & something other than their next audition, people who vote!!!!!and who occasionally get really pissed off! I get sick of all this have a nice day shit..... developing our spiritual side is great but lets not forget that we live here, on earth so don't neglect one and forget the other nothing wrong with working on both! and what we do here will ultimately affect the next generation. (you can't complain about george bush unless you DO something to make sure this doesn't happen again) SO VOTE dammit!
