Sore amazement...

... after reading this morning's OT posts from a book group I've been in. How people can blandly sit around and say we should respect our elected leaders no matter what they say and do is astounding to me. I am tired of shouting down the bottomless shaft about it, and from what I've observed on various sites, neocons, regular cons, bible-beatin' cons, throwback cons and murderous cons, they all seem to have a propensity for spewing out reams and reams of what they call "reasoned argument": blind blather. There's no reasoning with delusional humans, nor much point in trying to demonstrate facts to them. You know, I wouldn't care as much if it were just their kids being ground up in Iraq, or their institutions being eroded and destroyed by deliberate maneuvers on the part of Cheney/Bush & Co. I would stand by and watch them all wash down the bloody drain. But it's my world, and my kid's world, and my friends' world, too, and they're scraping it to the bone.
Finally got back to route setting this afternoon, and my sequencing has improved. Oh, wall...
