Jaeger <\/a>over in the corner flashing at me all the things I haven’t read, all the screeds and editorials and flag-waving and jumping-up-and-down and bile and bitterness and utterly dedicated belief in what is Truth, Righteous, and Holy.<\/p>\nAnd I’m sick of it already.<\/p>\n
Which means it’s time for yet another disavowal of political posting around here, which usually leads to a huge spate of it. But I can’t even bring myself to open up some of the posts I’m seeing headlined, which is a pretty bad sign, if you ask me.<\/p>\n
That is not to say I don’t have opinions. I’m just tired of finding them either dismissed, attacked, or stoked with fiery outrage.<\/p>\n
Looking at the Jaeger, it’s probably not surprising that the only sites I want to open are ones about people, about writing, about gaming, about gizmos. And even on many of those, I still find myself fuming every few posts or so.<\/p>\n
No real point here, just venting. And I don’t think that living in ignorance or not knowing what’s going on is an answer, even short-term. It just irks me that I feel so many people are trying to sell <\/em>me a message<\/em>, not provide <\/em>me with information<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Being away for a week spoiled me.
