Hammond, Indiana is Burning

On Friday we went to a Halloween house party in Hammond Indiana.

The party was scheduled to start at around 9. Little did the lady and I know that Barack Obama was in Hammond, Indiana for a campaign rally, which ended at roughly 9:30, so the festivities got going slightly later than we had thought.

When the crowd started filtering in, the word of the day was Obama.

Fantastic narrative.

The libertarian in me, though, is appalled at what is at its core the destruction of another persons's private property.

Great post. Fun to read. I spent a lot of time around people in small town Ohio/Indiana, and I know what you mean about just accepting some opinions whether you agree or not.

I recall a time that I walked into a party at Wright State University (not sure why I was there), and some very large guy at the door said in his fake southern accent, "You're from Connecticut? Wow you must be a gay loving democrat".

Gained a lot of respect for that guy...
