jedi_of_urthActually at the moment I feel more like crying but I'm going to be angry I can tell you.
Look I don't talk politics very often on my journal because I really don't know a lot of what's going on, and in some ways I don't want to know because when I do I just lose faith in everything, but I can't ignore this:

It scares me too much. I'm terrified of and for my country right now. This isn't the country I was raised to believe in.
Politics is upsetting right now, so much of what the current administration is trying to sneak by in the name of "financial security" and while our eyes are on the campaign is just wrong. The McCain/Palin ticket keeps scaring me the more I learn about it. And people keep being stupid about Obama when he's actually running a pretty good campaign so I'm also mad at people.
But this...this upsets me too much to not make a politics post, that's how upset I am by it. It's not just the straw that broke the camel's back (although it is) on it's own it's just that terrifying.
I'd go into the reasons my icon is appropriate, but this isn't about fandom, this is the real world being scary.
