It's so hard to go to DU's general discussion and political pages lately
It seems like all the political stuff is bad news.
It's making me depressed.
I was so hopeful for this country with President Obama and now it just all seems so sad. I keep looking for things to optimistic about and the only positive thing I see is LGBT rights. I know that's a big deal but the economical mess and everything and the health care mess and it's all so crappy. 
I think I'll stay away from there for a while and hide here with the silly kitty threads and hug my cat.
