transpaoI went hiking this weekend. it was probably good for me. Seems like the only time I manage to eek a little happiness out of things.
I hate politics. I feel useless and offkilter. Most of my friends are super lefty, and most of my family are super right. I was told this weekend that I don't believe in human rights because I am pro death pentalty. (I'm sorry I just think that there are some crimes that if you comit them you forfit your humanness) I get yelled at by my lefty friends because I don't believe in big government. I get yelled at by my family because I actually think gays should ahve the right to marry, and abortion is a right not a privleage. And I'm about as libertarian as it gets except that I don't believe in total free trade on a global scale. I think free trade works, but it doesn't take into account externalities that should be taken into account.
I hate the way people just accept what the canidates say they believe and no one ever checks voting records. I believe the system is so fucked up and fubar that it's byond control, but it's my civic duty to vote... even if no one I'd vote for matches my beliefes.
I feel so utterly helpless about everything else in my life too. I'd talk about it but it's pointless, nothing will make the situation better. NO one can say anything new or helpfull, so why bother moaning about it. No one really wants to hear my problems unless they think they can fix them... I'm sick of being insulted by friends and family when they are "trying to help." I keep trying because others want me to, but when it inconveniences them, I get called a drama queen, overly dramatic, and I get told to get over it or to suck it up.
