Uh Oh
Melancholy/angry post alert. Skip this if you're just looking for the funny shit.
I've been in a weird mood all night, and I still haven't quite figured it out. Even downloading some 80s music didn't help, and we all know my affinity for the lyrical genius of that decade. (Huey Lewis and the News did help for a bit)
It didn't help that tonight started out with another rendition of "Bore Chris to Tears" in the paramedic class. I caught shit from Jordan and Alex for "feeding it" with the occassional smart-ass comment, but if I'm sitting there trying not to slit my wrists I'm going to do whatever I can to keep myself entertained. At least I didn't ask if the pancreas feels squishy when you palpate someone's abdomen.
Four essentially worthless hours later, I got home tired, hungry, and entirely without motivation to feed myself. Nevertheless I sucked it up and microwaved a can of ravioli. Culinary genius? Why yes, yes I am.
Tangent- I know I promised to keep this blog from getting political, but FUCK South Dakota. What in the world is wrong with those people? First of all, a government, at least in America, is not supposed to legislate with moral authority it's not what it's there for.
Secondly, where do you get off telling doctors what's right for their patients? Who does Mike Rounds and the rest of the South Dakota legislature thing they are? I don't think they have to deal with the dead teenager who would rather kill herself than face telling her parent's she's pregnant. I don't think they have to tell a woman she's permanently sterile, and will never have children after her botched back alley abortion.
Why don't they have to do these things? BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT FUCKING DOCTORS! STOP ACTING LIKE YOU ARE!
My intelligent side (And yes it exists. Assholes.) knows that this will be stopped by an injunction long before it's appointed start date, and that it will be tied up in court for years. The problem is, my impassioned side is pissed that it even has to happen.
Let me make it clear, personally and morally, I'm completely opposed to abortion. I think it's horrific, and has far-reaching psychological scars on the women it's performed upon, many of whom aren't adequately counseled about these dangers, or their options.
But...
It's necessary, for the reasons I listed above, and many others.
Off my soapbox now, but I'm too pissed to say anything else. This wasn't so melancholy, but whatever. If you disagree with me, kiss my ass, but feel free to leave a comment and I'll argue it with you.

You know, you sure have a lot of opinions that coincide with mine, even if I am the black sheep liberal brother of the family.
