our government has become in the past 30 years and this is rock bottom...worse than Nixon. I am so glad I chose not to have kids since this place takes one step forward and two steps back every time I look up. It IS too fucking depressing for words. Sometimes I wish I weren't so aware and could just be a "bliss ninny" and willfully ignorant and let it all just slide by. My passionate nature and my upbringing doesn't allow me that peace of mind unfortunately.
