Started writing…
..and surrounded all the hate around me…
…I could not find the moral purchase that would allow me to continue unbiased. In looking at extremes…I could only become angry at people for promoting hate.
…the news became worthless…in some interviews I actually saw the cues for specific questions geared for propaganda.
…in my mail I saw a guy running for office that saved lives by torturing Iraqis…and read a monologue from April from him promoting some pretty scary gatherings.
…and all I can think of is how did you learn to hate so much…and how on earth do you think you’re worthy of serving in any leadership capacity after getting court marshalled for torturing people…literally.
..and then I realize that obviously I am hating too. I chastise myself for becoming the monster.
Why in the hell would I want to write about people that take an extreme stance on an issue that only moderation will resolve.
So who do I slam? Myself for even sharing this. Sorry just a bit pissed at the world in general….especially the extremist parts.
