In response to Who We Are posted by pink101:

if we can handle it, we're learning who WE are? Who I am in your eyes.
.
For you not to tell me what you think of the way I express myself because you want to be nice or for some other reason, well, that doesn't make a lot of sense.
.
I tease a lot. Why do people tease? Have you heard of someone teasing people they don't like?
.
First of all, Vermonters love to tease. A man (or woman) with a good sense of humor is highly valued here. I don't recall your ever saying anything which offended me (or I took personally).
.
I'm willing to play along with your premise, with one proviso: you tell me how you see me, OK?
.
I'll start with just a few things, not in any particular order:
.
You are passionate about the things you believe in, and you have high ideals (but you are also a realist)
.
You are loyal and fair-minded
.
Sometimes I think you see a bit too much through your own lens. For example, sometimes I think you perceive conservatives as being something negative when maybe they are just trying their best to be objective.
.
How's that?
.
Now its your turn.
.
peace and love,
Paper Turtle
