Does Anybody Else Miss Lisa?
May 12, 2009 | Jersey Shore, New Jersey | Vetting explained
I am considered to be politically left of center and by some a racist Black American (I disagree with the second point). Lately I have been feeling the void of iReporters gone by the wayside. My respected adversary that I miss most is LisaInTX. I used to have long debates, sometimes into the late evening with her, it was almost romantic :-0. We were always on opposing sides of the issue and at different ends of the spectrum. She used to come out with reports that could enflame half the country, I guess I do the same. Many times I would just wonder what could possibly motivate her, but then what motivates me. Some people thought she was mean spirited, I have heard that about myself. I just called her "spirited" though, and I miss the political diversity that used to be here at iReport.com. For all her controversy LisaInTX (and all the Lisa's) is an American who speaks out and stands for what she believes in. I don't agree with most of what comes out of her, in fact I vehemently oppose it, but I believe in her right to express it. Her blog can be viewed at wordpress.com. I refuse to paste her link here because I don't want to make it easy for anyone find her. That said, I miss LisaInTX and her brand of commentary and reporting.
