It's all about the blue, baby

Hi everyone,
This world is sliding down a shitty slide and it's up to all of us to
1. make sense of it
2. clean it up!
I mean really, what the fuck is happening in our lifetime? So much fighting: both here within our communities, the surrounding states, our nation and worldwide.
Not to sound corny, but seriously, "can't we all just get along?"
That Duke lacrosse player that raped that poor girl...also was involved in a gay bashing crime. That sick fuck.
As per more on the horrible crime known as gay bashing...in London, a man that was so severely disfigured from being bashed (because he was gay) leaped to his death over a railroad bridge.
Okay, dudes, who cares who is fucking who? Unless you're sleeping with the person, it's none of your damn business: so why the fuck are people making such a big deal about homosexuality? People are people. A person's sex life is personal (unless you're into voyeourism, LOL) My God, these conservatives are just making the world a scary place to live in.
There is nothing wrong with being gay.
Everyone is fighting. In Israel, bombs are going off. The Beirut airport is in flames, a Hezbollah rocket kills 8 in Haifa...one of my best friends live in Haifa. Thank God she's okay, but others are not. What is going on in this world? CNN calls it "Intense fighting." Well, that's an understatement.
Escalating attacks by the Taliban and other armed groups on teachers, students and schools in Afghanistan are shutting down schools and depriving another generation of an education. Schools for girls have been hit particularly hard.
Back on our side of the world, three children were found nearly dead from starvation: their adoptive parents are charged. WTF?! They were tied to be kept from the food. That is just sick.
Those who are fighting the wildfires in California will now have to deal with flooding. Oh fuckin' joy.
In Washington state, a mother and daughter were found murdered on a hiking trail.
There are at least 2,225 child offenders serving life without parole sentences in U.S prisons for crimes committed before they were age 18. What the hell?!
Gov. Michael Rounds (like other dumbasses in the government) wants to ban abortion. Gee, yes, let's bring back the back-alley abortions into the U.S. That's a fabulous idea. Anyone who agrees with Gov. Rounds should read this http://hrw.org/english/docs/2006/03/24/mexico13072.htm article.
Global warming! Need I say more? If global warming continues:
Deaths from global warming will double in just 25 years -- to 300,000 people a year.
Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet with the loss of shelf ice in Greenland and Antarctica, devastating coastal areas worldwide.
Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense.
Droughts and wildfires will occur more often.
The Arctic Ocean could be ice free in summer by 2050.
More than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.

So....where to start? There are so many causes to fight for: war, equality, human rights, the environment.....
Do your part, people!!!
