how do you wake up and keep yourself from blowing your head off every day?

It is indeed a struggle. Let me preface what I am about to say by noting that I have never suffered the slightest bit of (physical) child abuse. None. But I would imagine that, as an example, a fifteen year old kid --whose father kept them tied in the basement, burned them with cigarettes, and anally raped them every day-- would feel a bit of bitterness and resentment toward that parent. That's the best anaology I can come up with for the way I feel about the ConservaFascists who have taken over control of this society and this nation.

I swear you are the most bitter, unhappy person I have ever had the misfortune of encountering.

Any person who has the misfortune of finding out what is actually going on in America is going to become extremely bitter.

How do you sleep at night knowing how low your country ranks in these areas??

What troubles me as much as the fact that the numbers are so pathetic is that the ignorant populace still swallows the bullshit --"Hey, we're the by Gawd mighty Yew Ess of Aye, and we are the best danged nation on earth!!-- mantra that the Corporate media sends out 24/7/365.

....tied in the basement, burned them with cigarettes, and anally raped them every day-- would feel a bit of bitterness and resentment toward that parent.
That's the best anaology I can come up with for the way I feel about the ConservaFascists....With children really suffering this way, and with people in other countries really leading these terrible lives, you come off as a smug coward.
You feel like that? You wouldn't have the fortitude to survive a day of it.
