(3,747 posts)I should really finish those. Thankfully my federal and one of my state returns are finished, they just need to be filed. I think I'll finish the other state and review them tonight.
It's absolutely insane what some people are saying...how in the hell anyone could ever, ever hold a child responsible for a horror enacted on them is so far beyond me that I literally don't know what to say. And someone recently tried to tell me that guns would help protect women on college campuses, ignoring that now the rapists will have them too. And of course they will be used in assaults rather than self defense, we all know that's true. There's too much shit happening...I guess the only thing I can say is, try to avoid it if it's really stressing you out. There's things I do that with in my life, and it helps a lot. You shouldn't have to, but...maybe it'll help.
I agree that peace is elusive...we're only going to be able to get there if we can realize that the good of society, the good of women and PoC and LGBT and others is the good of us all. We benefit when we all benefit. Right now we are too consumed and blinded by greed and hatred.
There's another thread out there talking about a bong threat in Colorado...someone commented, "Bongs not Bombs". I like that idea. We should start a movement to drop bongs all over the world where we're currently dropping bombs. Could do some good.
If you ever create an asshole vaccine, I know a whole bunch of people that could really use a sharp jab with a sharp object...sign me up! Man it would be nice if someone decent ruled the world, wouldn't it?
And no worries about the profanity--read some of my posts and you'll see you're not the only one.
