ewwww!
i just got a call from those damn YES on 36 fuckers.
ewww. eww. ew.
fuckheads.
hateful fuckheads.
btw, assholes.. i already voted NO on your hate.
oh, and btw. have i mentioned how glad i am to have been raised in a family where we were taught that hate, blind hate, is not okay? that hating because of what someone is goes against the very beings of living in a humane world?
i often wonder what it must be like to have been raised being taught that some people are less okay than others because of their religion, skin color, nationality, sexual orientation, gender.. i wonder what it must be like to be so distrustful of people who are different.
okay, i'll admit.. when you are raised not being around people of all different creeds, and all of a sudden you come in to contact with those folks, being uncomfortable while trying to find your way is one thing.. but being raised to hate these new people.. being raised that when you meet different people you turn your nose up in disgust.. all that energy that goes into keeping that mind closed..
i feel sorry for those people. i really do. i feel sorry for those people who can't open their minds, who can't enrich their lives with the complexity of the human experience.
