I was listening to this blog today about various people trying to "exorcise their inner demons". The first story was of a guy who built up all these prejudices against Arab people after serving in Iraq. In order to "therapize" himself, he voluntarily joined the Muslim Student Association on campus to become more empathetic and culturally aware. I have to say props to this guy. I CANNOT IMAGINE sitting through one meeting of the Young Republicans, let alone joining their Goddamn association. I would rather be stoned or dipped in a vat of boiling oil than listen their conservative retoric.
I'm commenting on my own blog because I found the perfect example of what I'm talking out. I read this comment on one of my friend's friend's blogs, and I'll leave it anonymous:
ReplyDelete"I totally agree, although I'm so happy about Prop 8 that I haven't fully realized that we're going to have a socialist president."
But you have to admit now....Obama is kind of a socialist. :)
ReplyDeleteJayme, you're such a good sport, since I got that quote from someone on YOUR blog! And I'm okay with him being kind of a socialist.
