get off my lawn, you lousy kids

I've found so many things to complain about in recent months.

Definitely undesireable.  Such consternation is unhealthy.  And yet...

• The USA cuts funding for food stamps in order to pay teachers... but don't you dare touch the military budget.
• Global warming data continues to accumulate... unheeded while environmental/energy legislation dies again this year in the USA.
• The Target scandal continues to worsen as more details emerge... and some people want a donation to HRC as if that group deserved the corporate dollar more than MN Forward.
• It still seems like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism (in their various sub-flavors) want to kill each other (and the rest of us) rather than coexist... and they certainly won't convert everyone to humanism while waiting for a concerned Deity to finally announce which One True Faith is the real one.  A new one springs up every 1500 years or so.  Is it time for the next flavor of the millenium yet?

At least, while thinking about it, I've discovered why "persuasion by passion" is today the American standard rather than rational argument.  I'll post more on that topic later.

Some days I wish I had a boyfriend so we could spend a few hours under the sheets in mad passionate embrace.  And it doesn't even have anything to do with the sex.

Meanwhile, at Sturgis 2010 this weekend, Pee-Wee Herman visited.  According to one twitter, Pee-Wee was a class act:

"Pee-wee Herman is my hero! Not only did he raise 1000's of dollars for orphans, but he stayed late and signed autographs!"

Ah, at last.  Some sanity in this crazy, crazy world.
