Does it make me a bad Democrat if I did not much of the recent
speeches at the convention? I did watch some of Al Gore's. He did mention the queers and that the current administration should not be focusing on writing discrimination into the Constitution. I am felling less than inspired by
Obama/
Biden. They will be infinitely better, I hope, than the McCain ticket. I have a horrible feeling that when the curtains are pulled this November, that the real racist, elitist, moralistic and generally disgusting feelings of the average United States citizen will help elect McCain as our next president. I hope I am wrong though. Part of me thinks I
should take the not so subtle hint and move. I get it America, you can't hack my
hippy ways or respect my equality...fine...the UK likes queer people and social workers find jobs there. The other part of me, the little boy perhaps, wants to stay and fight and give a big fuck you to the man and demand my rights, and the rights of others human and non-human and fight against the oppressive system we live in. I guess if I move to
Canada or the UK, I will still be moving to a patriarchal, racist,
speciesist, sexist, homophobic and
every other
ic or
ist that you can think of society...welcome to world culture...were's my Starbucks?
