Good grief. I spent most of the day off the net mostly because when I peeked in this morning it was a morass of hate and idiocy and just plain nastiness. I get that people want to use their free speech, but why not think things through before opening your mouth? Or hitting your keyboard? I know, free speech doesn't mean intelligent thought, but it can't hurt to wish for it...
In the aftermath of the Aurora Shootings there is a massive argument about amendment rights and gun control. Then there is the nasty little debacle with Chick-fil-a, which has managed to fry what little brain cells I had left.
Frankly, I think everyone needs a happy pill.
So, the journal entry I was going to do tonight is shelved for a later date and it's a good one too ;)
I may not agree with some of the thoughts running rampant today, but I understand why they are there. I see them and acknowledge them and now I am exercising my right to stay off the net and hope that maybe cooler heads or at least a rise in intelligence will prevail.

*I rarely curse online. Not because I am a prude but because I can usually find better words to use instead. However, that graphic seemed apt and made me snort in a most unladylike way ;-)
