There is a certain surreality to the current political banter. Am I the only one who's noticed that? It seems like every blog I see is dehumanizing "the other"... not just the candidates, but "those damned conservatives" or "those hellbound liberals" or "fuck you if you don't vote" or "fuck you if you do".
Every once in a while there's a soft, kindhearted voice that pipes up and says, "Can't we all just get along?" ...and then the mob of bantering footballers bum-rushes them and the voice goes silent again, and we're back to the screaming and shredding and "The end of the world is coming! We are all DOOOOOMED!!!!"
I like people. Individually I mean. I've got likes of folks of all shapes and sizes, all persuasions and opinions. In groups though? In the hordes that get to forgetting that anyone not in their club is not a person? Y'all can freak me the fuck out sometimes.
Love,
Crystal
