Since I'm all fucking sorts of too depressed to even think about Katrina devastation after continuing to discuss it with rynia (I'm going to just come right out and say you should bother her for her phone number if/when you get the chance, as the stuff she can put together coherently on the subject of Katrina for her LJ is only half of what she can actually tell you), I am not going to go there right now.
I . . . just. There aren't words. It's like . . . I am not exactly old hat at this YARR FEMINIST RAGE thing, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do with it, except, you know, rant incoherently. I can't even begin to articulate how horrifying this is, especially considering how much this conflicts with my rediscovered faith.
I can't defend my country anymore. I can't. This isn't the America I believe in anymore, it's not even trying to be, and everything I got hoodwinked into believing they stood for was absofuckinglutely bullshit.
This government has and will continue to consistently lie to me and everyone else I care about and nobody fucking cares and what am I supposed to do, keep screaming?
I'll focus on the things that aren't making me shake with rage, thanks. For my sanity's sake.
And when I can afford it, I'm just gonna fucking move to Canada. Because I don't hate it there.
(And I've stopped being able to apologize for anything that Bush has ever done, though I once futilely tried, long ago. I want him gone now. He's a disgrace to the name Republican, the entire fucking party who follows him is, and I want them gone.)
