You have no clue who you have pissed off.

60. I don't think I've joined the teaparty to piss anybody off.

Oh. You're talking to the GOP. On Democratic Underground.

I got confused for a minute.

I've pissed off plenty of people during my lifetime; it happens all the time. It happens because I tend to say what I think whether or not others like it.

I'm not afraid of the anger of others. It's true that mob anger can be dangerous, of course. I don't like anger as a motivating force. It's dangerous, it's destructive, and it is, more often than not, self-destructive.

I say that because I think the point of your letter to the GOP is to threaten them with anger. It's true that anger CAN motivate, and CAN be used to achieve a goal. Like using nukes to threaten others, it can also create more problems than it solves.

Someday, if humanity survives, I hope we will evolve into beings that can solve problems and disagree without the destructive forces of anger, fear, hate, and greed.

As for me, I'll consider 2014, or 1016, a victory if we elect people who will staunchly oppose neoliberalism and corporatism in every form, who will support broad human rights in our own nation.

Women? I am one. Somewhere in that rant to the GOP, you and I have some areas of agreement. And your "Woman Rising" post is beautiful.
