And today was my day off anyway. I was supposed to get a call today about when I'm scheduled to come in again, but my phone never rang. *shrug* I ain't gonna take the initiative, it's not like I need the money that bad.
But anyway, time to bitch about something else.
You know who I hate? The South. Fucking southerners with their bible-thumping, holier than thou bullshit. I really wish they had won the Civil War and seceded. They're the reason Bush is in the White House, they'll be to blame if he gets re-elected, they're the reason this country has a Christian majority (and why porn is generally looked down upon), they're the reason the United States is so fucking gun crazy, they're the reason civil rights has made such meager progress, they're the reason gay marriage isn't legal in every state, and their intolerance of everything different from them and their beliefs has rubbed off on everyone else.
But really what it comes down to is Fundamentalism. If there were no fundies, the world would be a much better place. Religious persecution? Not here. Discrimination? Hell no, in fact, there's no scientific basis for different races, only the human one. Gay rights? They're people, so they should have the same rights as all other people. Women's rights? Of course. Abortion? A woman's right to choose. Stem cell research? It's not playing God, and even if it is, so what? We can do a better job than the "intelligent designer" did.
Once you get rid of fundamentalism, you also get rid of stupidity, or at least the gross offenders. Who else would believe in a magical sky pixie (who supposedly loves you but fucks you over every chance he gets) but people who are out of their fucking mind? By eliminating stupidity, you cut down on crime, fear, hate, racism, sexism, war, Republicans, all kinds of stuff.
So go ahead and wave that Confederate flag, because you believe in what it stands for: religious intolerance, slavery, male domination, and bigotry. Wave that flag, and I salute you with a raised middle finger. You're what's wrong with this country, and if anybody should leave, it's you.
