I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity.
Edgar Allen Poe

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
- H. L. Mencken

Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so
-Bertrand Russell

What I have been telling you, from alpha to omega, what is the one great thing the sigil taught me — that everything in life is miraculous. For the sigil taught me that it rests within the power of each of us to awaken at will from a dragging nightmare of life made up of unimportant tasks and tedious useless little habits, to see life as it really is, and to rejoice in its exquisite wonderfulness. If the sigil were proved to be the top of a tomato-can, it would not alter that big fact, nor my fixed faith. No Harrowby, the common names we call things by do not matter — except to show how very dull we are ...

ARRRRGGGG

Well today I was going to write an entry telling which side of the great divides of humanity I fall on. That can wait.Its going to be on how poorly people on the other side of those divides are treated.There was something on the fhdc today that was just so ungenerous. Two people got in an argument and then one has to call the other names? Why? I know both of them and like them. The one who was called a name is on my short list of favourite people. Now many on my list seemed to get picked on of course. Why do people feel a need to belittle those who are different? Especially those who aren't afraid of expressing their feelings?

I of course draw this kind of thing too. I'm loud, I'm not afraid of drawing attention to myself and I'm honest about how I feel. A sure way to attract negative attention. I can't honestly say it doesn't bother me but it bothers me less than when my friends are attacked. For myself I just think about what Leah tells me. The important people like me. Leah is an important person it goes without saying.

So that's it for today, not Evil Chez though she was tres evil today. Nothing that happened to me. Just a tirade. I hate xenophobia.

please hold me accountable.
