I don't know--I don't know what's going on with my country. I--I don't understand. And I feel like I can't do anything, and I want to make it better and. *cries*
Yes, it's unbelievable. What appalls me most is the fact that it's basically just a logical continuation of current politics as far as the government is concerned. I'm enough of a cynic that I'm appalled, but not really surprised by the turn things are taking...
I'm afraid all you can do is work towards a change in the long run. Perhaps more people will realize exactly what regard the current system has for them and want a change. But right now... I can understand how you must be feeling.*hugs*
Ugh. Just--no. I don't. I can't even--I can't even belive that this is really going on.
And there is nothing as frusterating as wanting, needing, trying to help, and not feeling there is anything you can do that would make a difference. I. I feel so helpless.
I really wish I had something helpful to say to that, but I'm afraid there isn't anything.
Though I think the only thing that will help is the pressure of public opinion, and it is happening at the moment, as far as I can tell. So speaking up wherever one can is probably the best thing to do...
Heh. Speaking up is one thing that I don't have a problem with you. You bet your ass that everyone I come into contact with is going to know exactly what's going on and what a fucktard the president--not MY president--is.
