aargh!

Even though "Talk Like A Pirate" day came and went ("Avast, me heartys") I'm still in "aargh" mode.

There's so much crap flying around, so much mindless bigotry, that I'm almost speechless.

Anti-immigrant, anti-gay, anti-liberal, anti-woman anti-black, brown, every damn thing, appears to be sweeping the good old U.S.A.

I do not know where to start -- in fact I haven't quite known where to start for a good while -- so, I haven't. It appears to be a nationwide epidemic of batshittery.

People who HAVE "Socialist" government run health care (Medicare) are railing against ""Socialist" government run health care.

Americans who claim to cleve to The Constitution are up in arms against other American Citizens claiming some of their equal rights as citizens (ENDA).

Christian church leaders who are part of a group still discriminated against (African-Americans) are dead set against expanded marriage rights, and ANY rights for LGBT Americans -- because, in this SECULAR nation, and society, their "Holy Book" (The Bible) Appears to say that ancient goat hearders killed homosexuals -- so, we should do the same today.

At the same time, virulent racism has come back out of the closet -- still, as always, claiming it's not racism.

It's just too much stuff to comment about. Too many injustices to even mention. It's so much easier to "drag and drop" stuff others have already thought about, composed, and posted. It's so much easier to list bank failures, and tut-tut about the economy. We're doing, as a nation, the equivalent of "fiddling while Rome burns". We still haven't gotten away from the Republican "I've got mine - fuck you." mindset. I guess things have to get worse first ---- too many "losers" still think they are "winners".

Sigh --- where to begin?
