Politics

Things have been pretty quiet on the Second Life front. I logged in one earlier time to do a search on "Boston" and see if Emerson College had anything live that I could visit. They didn't, at least not that I could find. I wandered around a bit more and found a nice place to buy birdhouses, but no people to talk to. I logged in another time to accept a friend request.

When I logged back in today I decided to see if Hillary Clinton had a Second Life presence. Of course she does--a very nice place and it even has a podium where you can give a speech. I'm not sure how that works and didn't try it out. There were copies of recent speeches and several boards that told about various phases of her life. There was a dance floor and a baby grand piano and a great water area.

Vita Demina was sitting on the couch. She turned out to be a teacher in Pennsylvania and we had a great conversation about our political climate and the mystery of why there is such venom against Hillary Clinton in so many quarters. You can like her or not like her but I don't see any grounds for people hating her. Sounds like a personal problem to me.

We agreed that we liked her and hoped she wins. I told her about the video I just uploaded on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP3R65vG0eg. It's titled The Grim Reaper Political Action Committee (and if you like Dick Cheney, you probably don't want to view it). She said she'd check it out and we officially became friends. I'll go back and check out Hillary's place at a time when people aren't at work and check out the other candidate sites as well. Good place to meet people.
