I’m well aware of how I look and thus the general way I’m perceived by people who don’t truly know me.

It’s always given me moments of eye-rolling humor throughout my life, especially the past 20+ years that I’ve had long hair.

I get an extra special giggle when it comes to politics.

Why?

Well, most people assume that someone with long hair is not going to be conservative (in the true sense… remember, I politically identify myself with Libertarian philosophy). Consequently, people I may vote for may belong to parties other than Democrat (and typically so), and modern Liberals generally turn my stomach.

But it’s funny… it’s usually those same Democrats and Liberals that tend to judge me by my looks, yet they’re the same people who think judging someone by how they look is a bad thing. Ah, the irony is so sweet, and I get to savor it so often. 🙂
