Well, now I'm wondering:
Was Lorena Bobbitt's story ever turned into a country song?

@FlashMobOfOne My trip in 2007 was the trip of a lifetime. It was truly wonderful.
I lament the absolutely wretched conditions that this country has decayed into.
I regularly think of the driving trip I took around the continental u.s. in 2007 and how I would never attempt to do such a thing now.
This country is going a 100 mph backwards at this point.
I guess my next North American driving trip, should I have one, will be through Canada.
Fuck this shithole country.
I guess North Carolina is yet another state that I can put on the list "States I Will Never Visit."
I just saw the first mosquito of the season. (For me, at least.)
The Minnesota state bird lives on.
I am now convinced that "The Special Hell" is actually Kentucky.
@FlashMobOfOne OK, LOL. I will!
@FlashMobOfOne I just watched a few videos of giggling foxes.
HOLY CRAP THEY ACTUALLY LAUGH 🤪💕💕
@FlashMobOfOne Oh, I didn't know they did that? No, they quietly scampered off.
Even a big mug of coffee doesn't do much when you wake up at 3:30am to go for a seven mile hike.
But I saw a fox!
So, it was worth it.
If you think killing 35,000 people and completely razing every bit of infrastructure necessary for supporting human life is justifiable in going after the bad guys...
Chances are, you're ALSO one of the bad guys.
What I've learned from watching repeated, widespread public support for u.s. military aggression across the decades is this:
Most americans are happy to support terrorism if it's not their families who are being burned and bombed to death.
And that's a reeeeeeeal sobering and sad realization.
If MAGA wants to uproot itself and relocate to Russia because they see it as their 1950s fantasy, I hope hundreds of thousands of them relocate.
G'bye. Don't let North America's demographic screen door hit you in the ass on the way out.
On second thought, DO let it hit you. HARD
Reason: Because you're human!
Me: I wish I weren't.
Reason: Because most people are good?
Me: That has yet to be confidently demonstrated. Depends on your criteria and people's criteria are usually highly selective.
Reason: Because not liking humanity makes you antisocial and a bad person!
Me: Humanity seems pretty bad to me. So, that's an untrustworthy assessment by a questionable source.
Reason: People won't like you.
Me: I don't care.
It's weird to spend the sixth decade of your life with the persistent suspicion that you picked the wrong planet to be born on.
I don't like humanity because it has yet to provide a good reason for liking it.
I'm still waiting.
But I'd prefer to do my waiting at a safe distance.
Animals are more kind than so many humans. Call me an animal. It's a complement, actually.
You know, human beings have a habit of referring to other people as animals when they are in extreme disagreement with them.
However, I don't see animals regularly killing each other in organized mass slaughter, and I don't see animals destroying their own planet, and I don't see animals killing each other because they have sex with the "wrong" kind of individual, or believe in the wrong religion, or have the wrong color of fur.
I know people feel nostalgic about "The Phantom Menace" and kid memories are kinder to movies than adult memories tend to be, but that fucking movie was filled with racist stereotypes and some of the most wooden, poorly written dialog that I've encountered in a science fiction movie or a Star Wars movie.
Good fucking grief, it was SO bad.
NO.
I'm here to rant as the mood strikes me, to stay in touch with friends, and to verbally stare at my navel. Often, this is not a happy space.
