jackshoegazer | Yup, still angry.

Actually, it's more like severe disappointment, but it's so hard to distinguis those two things lately.

The anti-intellectualism astounds me. Please return your advanced brain structure if you're not going to use it.

The people have not spoken - they opened their mouths and unlimited campaign dollars from multinational corporations (thanks to Citizens United) came out instead.

Somehow I have to get through a very long day without taking my anger out on strangers. I almost lost it earlier this morning when I heard a girl telling another girl that God does horrible things to you to break your will and turn you to Him. That it is wrong and arrogant to try to stand on your own in the face of tragedy, and that's why people turn to drugs and sex. And she was totally earnest. And then she moves right on to say how much God loves all of us and helps us, without even a hint of recognition of the logic conundrum she just created.

I find it amazing our species has lasted this long.
