I had typed something here about politics, but there's just no way to discuss it without flaring tempers. Suffice to say that the situation sucks and there's no way at all for the US to look/do good.
A few words in defense of Americans: an awful lot of us don't like much of what our country is doing (like, say, ignoring our own constitution), but there isn't a whole hell of a lot we can do about it. Hell, a pretty serious majority supported some kind of gun control in a recent poll, but congress is so much in the NRA's pocket that those jerks couldn't even pass a gun control bill right after a bunch of kids got killed. Both parties suck and there's no viable third option; I tend to vote for Democrats only because the Republicans actually put things like being anti-fabulous and "poor people don't deserve health care because they're poor and that's their fault" right on their official party platform. So much for representative government, eh?
edit-haha, anti-fabulous. Never seen a perfectly normal term for "homosexual" on a swear filter before.
