I am not angry about the Civil Rights act
I am not able to get angry anymore. I am not surprised either, or shocked. This is the way things are gong, and have been going for oh since 1985 or so.
It is what it is, and the question is what are you going to do about it?
But angry? I don't have any more energy for that emotion. I expect things to get far worst. We are far from hitting bottom. This is but one more step in this...a big step...
So they will make abortion illegal. Perhaps try to get rid of the wimen's folks right to vote...on the list also, child labor, as in it is back. Living wage....well, we will be lucky if we keep the minimum wage. Workers protections? You jest.
And we have now the backbones of a police state.
This is where we are. And where we are going.
Those dystopias are looking more and more like prophecy.
Oh and voting...it's just part of the scenery. It could be useful, but hardly the end all, absolute thing that will slow down, let stop this process.
Yup, I am glad I don't have kids.
But none of this surprises me, or shocks me, or angers me anymore. The course we are following is sadly...highly predictable.

1. I've always thought the Civil Rights Act was a good thing

2. So have I...but I am not surprised that a key
Part was struck down.
Not at all...in fact, I hate to say it, I expected it.

30. Nope...you have not given me reason
In fact that post tells me exactly why you will not go there, ever. As tempting as it might be.

9. Exactly. It has become not another day,
But all but surprising. Those currently in power are laying the work to remain such, even after they become clear minorities.

6. "Yup, I am glad I don't have kids."
Clearly reflected in the gladness that permeates this cheerful missive.

10. And your point?
I recommend you look out and check climate change among others. If I had kids I would seriously be looking for another country. This way I can stay and do what I have been doing...fighting. It offers that luxury.
But as a child of a holocaust survivor, I would be looking to move. I expect this place to go down predictable lines. Those who don't know history are bound to repeat it.
I suspect you are among those people.

25. Trends...that is all
Since the enabling act was passed it's clear where we are heading. And last week confirmed it, as well as indefinite detention of us citizens in the NDAA. Like all other states going there, it is all very legal.

45. sorry if history is not
your strong point. It is not partisan to recognize this is bipartisan and part of history for good and valid reasons

47. Just to be even clearer
she's mistaking the Civil Right Act of 1964 with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, while upthread she's telling someone "history is not your strong point."

49. Evening kick
The missing irony gene is strong in that one. But she makes up for it with extra PLONK.:-) :-)

I gather that nads is threatening to leave the country to escape glow bull warming.
Plonk? Isn't that the sound the old M-79 grenade launcher used to make when a round went out?
I expect things to get far worst.

Nads, Maybe you should remove that plonk from your own eye first. Just sayin'
Can you get splinters from a plonk? I hear you need gloves to handle the rough ones. :lmao:
