32. I know!!! Damn it's lonely down here. We need help!
I'm craving to talk with other like-minded folk. There's a desperately small liberal community out here. Luckily I have my man and a few close friends I can really talk to. But in general, it's careful treading out here.

Don't get me started on the freakin LSU papers. Not even worth your fuckin time. The Reveille tries once in a while, but much to meek. And I guess, compared to the fucking Tiger Weekly, it reads okay. Nothing even close to what you'd expect from a college paper though.

You should have seen the anti-war march and protests. Hardly anyone showed up. The radical right-wing freepers with their harleys were there though (I know not all bikers feel that way, okay). Instructed by a local radio show to attempt to intimidate us, show no less. There's NO doubt that I'm in the South. Don't get me wrong, the South has been good to me. But I'm lucky.

For all the native Louisianians out there who are potentially offended by my criticism, come on! Of course I realize that not all Louisianians are repukes. And, yes, it's probably worse here in Baton Rouge than in other places. But there's no doubt that we're the minority. I'm being honest and we should be pissed. We need to get more people up off their lazy asses. We need to do something more! Get them interested. Asking questions for a change instead of swallowing all the drivel whole. God damn, I'm frustrated. WTF!!!

:grr: :grr: :grr:
