You are absotively right, emmy...there are agendas everywhere. Which is why I am skeptical of just about everything!

One of my best friends used to be the executive director of a bicycle advocacy group. The man who was the director when she first joined the group was a true zealot, and I would get so annoyed at how irrational he was about his cause, saying that there was no need for cyclists to obey traffic lights, etc. My girlfriend said something that really stuck with me about him...that to effectively advance a cause, you have to be very single-minded about it, and not accept anything that detracts from your mission. So I guess I will never be a lobbyist, or lead a cause, because I am entirely too equivocal...to me, life is all about gray area.

Athough...maybe in reality I am also a zealot, and my agenda is to prove to the world that there's another side to every story.
