A couple people on my FB feed have been off on a tear about how multiculturalism is "ruining America." Far as I'm concerned, only Native Americans should be able to make that claim. However, if you're one of those assholes who brays on about how anybody from a country who produces terrorist is some kind of sympathizer--well, you can fuck right off if you're celebrating St Patrick's Day. Beside the basic point that America produces plenty of terrorists (when's the last time YOU formally denounced Ted Kaczynski, or Randall Terry? What does a "formal denouncement" even entail?) the idea that all people of a given religion, from a given country, or of a given color agree with each other on all things is patently ludicrous. And as always, if you're bitching because people aren't speaking English--you should be complaining about it in proper English.

In the past week, I've had to explain to people no less than 3 times that I am no longer entertaining any argument containing comparisons to Nazi's or Hitler. I'm saying it again, hopefully for what will be the last time. I hope everyone is listening.

Is there gun-control legislation happening that I don't know about? I'm hearing a lot of people talking about how "the left" wants to "take all our guns away." I have not heard anyone on either side advocating that ALL guns be taken away. Last I heard, there were states where it was perfectly fine to bring a gun into a church, a bar, or a Presidential appearance. Is this just the usual alarmist bullshit, or is something actually happening?

Did not get as much writing done over my long weekend as I wanted to. Most of the weekend was taken up trying to fix the computer, which I have now done. Can't believe it's already the middle of March. If I seem like I'm ignoring you, it's because I really am trying to spend less time online. Sadly, that time comes right out of catching up with you all.
