Hate and Love, Love and Hate

Lennon was wrong. Love is not all you need, it's a great place to start, but it certainly doesn't make the end all be all. People love as much as they hate. I use the term 'hate' sparingly since if one is so absorbed in having such strong feelings about someone or something, there is still an allure to feel so strongly about it. But you're a smart bunch and know what I mean.

In the last 2 days (within 17 hours of each other) there were 2 separate fatal motorbike crashes nearby my hood. There were a few thoughts and prayers sent out to the riders and their families, but the outcry of traffic woes swallowed them up into oblivion. What the ever-loving fuck? Where's the compassion? Our priorities are so screwed up in this country.

Ted Cruz talked for 21 hours in a filibuster to prevent Obamacare from passing. Because affordable healthcare for every citizen in these United States is bad....really. There's no doubt that Mr. Cruz and the Tea Party are a bunch of assholes. A bunch of assholes who happen to have incredibly affordable healthcare.

Ugh I could go on, but the details of what I want to say are kinda mushed in this head of mine. In short, stop being jackals to each other and show a little more compassion. It's not a personal goal, it will benefit every single one of us in the long run.
