Monsters

Not that I agree with the whole pompous "those of us who read liberal blogs know better" stance, but this does a pretty good job of summing up my disgust with the state of the union these days. Oh, and Tom DeLay? There is nothing I can wish on him that is bad enough. I have finally had to come to think of this administration and most politicians in general with the same attitude that I used to not go crazy in my former job.

When I was a prosecutor, I used to see monstrous things that people did to each other. Not only did I have to see them, I had to become intimately familiar with them. I had to know the slightest detail of how a child molester got a kid to suck him off, or how many hours it took for a baby to die after her father had slammed her head against the shower wall. I had to live with these things, know these things, and somehow not want to go on a shotgun racking rampage through most of the world. I had to come up with a way of coping, so I did. I believe that there will be justice, karma, retribution, or whatever you want to call it, for these creatures. I may not see it. I may not ever know about it. It may not happen on a side of reality that I am aware of, but I have to believe it will come. This is what gave me faith to keep fighting and to feel like what I did about things mattered in some small way.

Tom DeLay, worse than a fucking child molester or murderer in my book. I keep fighting in my own small ways and I keep my faith that he and his ilk will eventually come to some sort of justice, even if I don't see it. The world is always overun by monsters. I don't know if I'm right. Maybe there's nothing but milk and honey all the way for these creeps, but I know that without my faith in retribution for creatures like this, I wouldn't have the fuel to fight. Whatever works, friends, whatever works.
