It's not just among queers though. It's our American society. We're in the midst of a mindless and cruelly pointless war. Yes there are some who march every week on Fridays at Pioneer Square. Yes when a call to rally comes many of of follow. But as a whole we say & do nothing while we let others get rich off writing books about how much the war and Bush suck. We let Michael Moore make speeches while he collects awards & we nod our heads while we eat TV dinners. And today I don't have an answer on how to change it. I just know our American addiction to the mighty concept of more has finally reached into the heart of the queer movement & day by day, smashed it to digestible little pieces.
Speaking of our crappy American way, Friday night my roomie & I watched a 20/20 special on Privilege. One of the topics was about privilage in the courtrooms. We all know how if your poor & black, you don't get a fair chance. This story really showed a clear example of this. Really powerful!
And finally, something light. I've adopted a little penguin named farty. Click on him a bunch of times & he'll do a trick for you.
adopt your own virtual pet! |
