Thanks to @stefanstern,  I discovered the MIX. In this blarticle, Moving Past Austerity—Let’s Make 2011 the Year of Honesty, Humanity and Generosity, Polly LaBarre eloquently states what I wish I could, and without any offensive sting:

“zero-sum thinking, profit-obsession, power, conformance, control, hierarchy, and obedience don’t stand a chance against community, interdependence, freedom, flexibility, transparency, meritocracy, and self-determination.”

When you feel isolated and alone with your “abnormal” thoughts about a particular topic, it’s always comforting to discover others with similar opinions. Polly, in specific, and the MIX, in general, fit the bill for me. Now, if I could only learn how to keep immature, offensive language and childish poopie pictures out of my posts, I might soothe the occasional pangs of guilt that course through my being.

The line between constructive passion and destructive obsession is a tenuous one. Do you tread the line, or do you keep yourself warm and cozy and numb, hiding in the womb and not wanting to “get involved“?
