Dear Conservative Assholes,
Apr. 14th, 2005 02:42 pmFor the last time, I am tired of being accused of hating America! I do not hate America!. What I do hate is the current administration.
Not able to comprehend the difference? Let me break it down for you.
Due in great part to the fact that I was born in the US, I:
* am in good good physical health
* with all my teeth
* with no STDs/chronic illnesses
* and access to clean water and nutrition
I am also:
* female
* in my mid 20s
but:
* educated
* relatively unbound by hostile religious codes
* socially and culturally mobile
* unmarried
* childless
* not dependent on sex work to sustain myself.
The above are luxuries, if not fantasies, to the majority of women alive today. The fact that I am able to take advantage of them is due in large part to the fact that I am America, where these luxuries are taken for granted. American women worry about an arranged marriage to a man three decades their senior, or death from the flu? Don't be ridiculous.
The very fact that these aren't consuming concerns for me makes me love America.
Now, if bush and his buddies have their way, as a non-Christian, liberal, lower middle class female, I stand in very real danger of losing all the luxuries I've listed above. Which is why I despise this current administration.
Please do not confuse the one for the other.
That will be all.
