Jon, Tyler, Ben, Chuck and I are playing D&D 4ed. I’m playing a Bard. I have mocked people to death. I have found my favorite class for the day.
The Right To…

… be pissed off.
That is one of our greatest rights here in America. We have the right to be pissed off, to tell everyone we’re pissed off, to even unleash a torrent of pissed-offness about our leaders. We can be pissed off, even congregate pissed off and shout things. We won’t be run over by tanks. We won’t be fired upon unless we act like complete jerks and start to hurt people. We won’t be flagged as some commie mutant traitor and arrested for just being pissed off.
We can even be pissed off at other people for being pissed off. Sure, occasionally it gets to a point where we regress to infantilism (see the New York State Senate circa this post. Oh yes, there will be posts about this.). But in general, we get pissed off and then we wait until we get to the next thing to piss us off.
The point is, the next time someone pisses you off, especially a leader, find a soldier and thank them. Find a politician and thank them. Find a voter and thank them. These people gave us the right to be pissed off. All of the injustice we feel over the little (and big) things… we are allowed to feel it and express it. If we got pissed off anywhere else, in so many places, we’d be shot.
Happy Independence Day! God Bless a Pissed Off America!
And so it goes…

I like to blog. It’s true. I’m also completely incapable of focusing for any length of time on a single activity for more than… well, ok, some better than others. So this will be an attempt at getting the ideas in my head out into the world.
Some rules of the road: Simply, I’m going to write about what I think is interesting. Any maudlin posts will probably stay in my more personal journals. I’ll talk about politics. I’ll talk about movies. I’ll talk about TV. I’ll talk about things that piss me off, make me laugh… all I ask is that you realize what you’re getting into to start.
