I mentioned this to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wild_irises and she said to go ahead and post it.
If I'm ever tempted to think that my LiveJournal friends list is a valid cross-section of anything (with the possible exception of my social circle as a whole), I need only remember that there are more transgendered people on my friends list than there are Republicans (or Tories [1]). There may, in fact, be more space probes and fictional characters on my friends list than there are Republicans/Tories (and that is not an accurate reflection of my social circle as a whole).
If anyone who thinks I'm wrong about the numbers or proportions wants to come out as a Republican, please do.
[1] My first thought was just "Republicans," but considering the geographic distribution of my friendslist, it seemed only fair to throw Tories into the mix.

No, I lie--I hadn't even thought about "republican" in the sense of "one who favors a republic"; in that sense I too am a republican.
