Any of you guys who have been around here for a while know I love my politics but I try hard not to post on here about it too much.
If you don’t want to read my political ranting – I did post about an MMMF bisexual foursome fantasy that I’ve been having recently on my other blog www.BisexualDave.com – you can read that if you need your
Tonight one of my friends in town invited me to a party to watch the first Presidential Debate. Being San Francisco, my political leanings are polar to most of my friends but that just makes it more fun and on most social issues, I’m left leaning.
I hate how the Republican Party here tries gay marriage and abortion to their main issues – from my perspective, a Republican in the White House can’t change either of those issues – the courts decide those issues or the states can by referrendums (or whatever you call a referrendum here in the US). Unfortunately, the Liberal Party in Australia is going down this same road. And rich old white guys should not be commenting on abortions – I’d love to see some Republican get an abortion question and simply say – “I shouldn’t comment on things of this nature. In a vote, I’ll abstain and I trust the courts to decide the issue.” Wouldn’t that be a breath of fresh air?
One other rant for today – voter ID. I understand that this will ‘help’ the Republican Party because the Democrats generally get the vote of younger people, minorities (didn’t Obama get 98% of the black vote in 2008 – that to me is racist in itself). However, you can’t do ANYTHING without photo ID these days and for the sake of the integrity of the voting system, I believe you should have to provide ID. Every single time I go to the liquor store here in my neighbourhood – I can’t get a 6 pack without an ID. I’d never dream of driving here in the US without my drivers licence, my bank here asked me for ID to pull out cash from my account (despite having my debit card) and you can’t go near an aeroplane without ID obviously.
Now, if it is too difficult for old or poor people to get photo ID – that is a seperate problem. Don’t bring into question the election process because the bureacracy terrible. That is horrible if someone can’t get photo ID because of all the things I just mentioned are not available to those people. I’m sure minorities and old people would like to grab a 6 pack of beer every now and then.
Just my 2 cents worth – I promise to get back to the speedos tomorrow. I did post about a bisexual MMMF foursome fantasy that I’ve been having recently over on my other blog – www.BisexualDave.com.
Hey guys – I just walked in the door and it is a gorgeous day here in San Francisco. The last few days in Colorado it was kinda raining and starting to feel like winter but this definitely feels more like summer.
I’ve got some technical reading to do that Kip gave me for a new project so I’m going to head up to Alamo Square with a hip flask and do some reading in the sun.
Looks like something happened with the database on TheSpeedoForum.com but Kip will fix that up this afternoon when he gets back to the office. I’ve been a little slack on blog posts but I’m sure those guys who are members of SwimmerBoyz.com will be appreciating the time that I’ve been spending on that site. There is a major update that I’ve got to spent about 10, maybe 20 hours on which I’m hoping to get done this weekend. I had been asked to head north up to Napa with some friends but I really want to get on top of some of this work stuff. Being busy means I’m making money though so I don’t mind the late nights.
After a few D&M’s (deep and meaningfuls) I think I’ve figured out what my travel/living movements will be for the next 9 months or so – I’ll run it by you guys in the next few days.
I better get up to the park – I know being San Francisco I could strip down to my speedos and work on my tan but I just don’t think I can pull that off. Maybe I need to get a bunch of you guys and organise an inner city speedo tanning session.
It is that time again, where in the world is Dave Evan’s going to go.
Hanging out here in Colorado has been fantastic and definitely has given me an itch to get back to an Aussie summer. Summer in San Fran hasn’t been as warm our as outdoorsy as I had hoped. Although I love the city, spending a winter there doesn’t seem like me.
The darn US dollar is super cheap right now which makes it a lot more expensive for me to move back to Australia or New Zealand and I could spend another winter in Breckenridge with Kip as he has a spare room and we get a lot of work done when we are living under the same roof.
All these choices.
The least on my San Francisco apartment expires on Nov 1st so I could head out to the mountains for a couple of months, save some money and then head back to Australia in Jan/Feb and get the last of summer and not have to deal with the school holidays over there which are crazy on the Central NSW Coast.
I’d love to look into the Caribbean but I haven’t spent any time down there and don’t know the lay of the land which makes it a little tougher.
Either way – not a bad problem to have. As a friend of mine says…. white people problems.
