Can I Go Back Home?
Today has not started well. I arrived at the office to find a giant dead crow right outside our building. Ew.
Then a few of us got into a heated discussion about terrorism and it is now apparent that I’m even more of a flaming liberal than previously thought. See, I just don’t think we should be shooting people for looking suspicious. So the new policy is shoot first, ask questions later? Wtf? And do I think random searches on the subway is actually going to stop terrorism? No. I’m sorry if I don’t want to live in a police state but I don’t. Maybe if I felt any one of our so-called leaders actually cared about preventing terrorism by attacking it at it’s roots (ie. poverty, AIDS, etc.) then maybe I could accept the extra police presence for now. But we aren’t doing anything and so it will never end.
Ok, on a happier note—these two are having a baby today!!! Go send them good wishes.
