American Dreamin'

It scares me that so many of my friends have shown this week by their staunch support of certain statements in the media (political and not) that in the 50's or 60's when it was my people being attacked instead of homosexuals, they surely would have been leading the riots. At least if they were being held on Facebook.

Surely people have Biblical backing for that hatred too, right? Do not be unequally yolked and all that. All I'm saying is that Mr. Perry should probably have a video about fornicators and drunkards in the military also.

Don't even get me started on the Muppets.

Oh and Christmas isn't real.

Remember to love this holiday season.

Send in the Clowns

I'm angry.

I'm angry and disappointed and frustrated and irritated beyond belief.

In the past two weeks I have been utterly disillusioned about kindness, responsibility, respect, and integrity left in the world. Particularly in America. Particularly in my corner of America.

I'm usually not one to think that things were "better" in the past. Generally I think that there is always change and that every generation has good things and bad things. But in the past few weeks I have been forced to admit that there are a lot of things now that used to be "better."


I wish people would respect others opinions.

I wish people would take responsibility for their actions.

I wish people would not hide behind anonymity to be rude and hurtful.

I wish people would be aware that things typed or texted exist in people's minds long after they are read.

I wish people would let things be simple.

I wish people would read. I wish they would educate themselves. I wish they cared. About anything.

I wish people loved.


With love,
S
