More politcal headaches...

msfledermausI shouldn't keep reading the news. Bad Maus, bad bad Maus. There's so much more I should do other than read the news. I'm working on a Gastrological chart for what kind of food you are...it's not done yet. I could be knitting. I could be staring off into space, drooling on my clip-on tie. But nooooo, I read the paper. The Star-Trib, even, which has recently dumbed-down a lot of it's writing to up it's circulation numbers...I think I lost a brain cell just reading the front page.
It's kind of funny....now that we've been living in our Brave New World for quite some time, I often assume that things can't get much worse for us politically...and then get unpleasantly suprised by the headlines. I'd pick one, but, again, there's just so much to choose from. I think the one that really got to me today was that poor family in Anoka that had to deal with the nut-job protesters at their son's funeral. The protestor's mission statement--that soldiers are dying because God hates us for being nice to GLBT people--just floors me. Floors me, I tell ya...
Dear Extremist nut-jobs of any religious denomination: Please, please, in the name of humanity, just knock it all off...let everybody sleep at night and stop trying to hamstring everybody who wants our species to survive the next century...Just stop. Please.
*tired unhappy muttering*
