Nekojita posted that link too in her LJ... and so when I read it through a second time I was expecting myself to be a bit less horrified and shocked... from numbness if nothing else. But, nope, still pissed and disgusted as hell. At this point I'm kicking myself for not waiting and simply going to grad school at UBC in Canada. It would have made it easier to find a job there, I imagine. My one shining ray of hope (which is pretty disgusting and misguided in its own right) is that once the older generation kicks off, the morons that have produced moronic offspring will have neglected to educate them to the point that they -can't- get into politics. Of course, looking at President Monkey-Boy certainly doesn't encourage that prospect. That said, I think younger people, in general, are more tolerant and that things will get sorted out eventually (possibly with bloodshed and riots)... but it's goes to show how backwards the U.S. politicians are that positive changes can't be made now. I'm just happy to be living in California. I'm not sure what my mental state of health would be if I lived in a place where attitudes were less friendly. My best wishes go out to those who are stuck in that unfortunate situation. ....Any room in your backyard for me?
