Also, despite the oft-quoted MLK bit going around FB, I can't pretend I'm not glad Bin Laden is dead. And the viral multiplication of that quote makes me fairly sure that at least 75% of the people I know think I'm a jackass hater who's gonna hate and I'm bringing down humanity with my lack of compassion. But...I can't lie. I'm glad they took him out.

I *want* to feel compassion for every living thing. Including Bin Laden and that fuckwit GW Bush. But I don't. I am trying, which probably doesn't count for much in the MLK quote big scheme of things (no one ever got quoted for saying "Really, I'm trying to not hate, but I'm not...quite...there yet!"), but I'm not there. I am violently imperfect, and I know this. All I can hope is that trying counts for something.

(But seriously. Didn't the Buddha ever want to punch someone in the neck? I mean REALLY?)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It's not a real MLK quote, FWIW.

Well, my point wasn't really about who originally said it. Perhaps I wasn't clear. My point was about the content. Carrot Top could have said it, and my reaction would be the same.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You look way cooler refusing to quote Carrot Top though.

I feel like I should do it more, actually.

God, I really hope there's an internet repository of Carrot Top quotes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

then ALL OF AMERICA includes Obama, doesn't it?

Only if you believe his birth certificate is real, Steph.

The status is NOT quo.

Teppy. Seriously. It's the Internet: [link]

"People are GIVING Obama credit he DOESN'T DESERVE because he just HAPPENED to be in office when the US got a credible lead!"

Haters gonna hate. (Which, ironically, includes me.) I'm going to have to try to gracefully bow out of that conversation, because it's clear she wants an echo chamber, and, despite my predilection for such, I actually don't wish to stir the shit.

And it's after 1 a.m. and I really need to go to bed instead of wondering what Carrot Top thinks about non-violence.

If only it were Gallagher, you wouldn't have to wonder.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I *want* to feel compassion for every living thing.

Shit, I don't have that much love in my heart.
