Spring at last

March again, apparently I update this 2 times a year.
Lots of things going on right now, so basically I have been spending all day online expounding. There was a big case in Ohio where 2 guys raped a girl because she was passed out drunk and that makes it OK? Right? lulz...
They pretty much got away with it as well since they are serving like a year or two in juvenile detention and everyone is saying it was the girls fault for getting drunk at a party (where everyone else was also getting drunk). Basically people suck a lot and are willing to excuse just about anything if you make the perpetrator seem charming enough.
Also the Supreme Court is making a big decision about gay marriage, hopefully it falls in favor of it.
Lucky for me I have a lot of really reasonable friends who think that rape is wrong and gay marriage is awesome so not much controversy surrounding those topics.  Mostly the disagreements are over guns and stuff. Which is funny because most people I talk to fall into the "hey, guns are great and all, we do need to figure out a way to keep them out of the hands of crazy people though, also we should start trying to help crazy people more in this country" camp, but if you look at all of the crap going around on the internet it makes it seem like there are 2 sides either a) you want all guns to be melted and turned into sculptures FOR THE CHILDREN or b) you want everyone to be able to own ALL THE GUNS, and oh my god the government is trying to take them alllllll away.  I wish that news companies and people who create those stupid info-graphics that get passed around on Facebook would realize that we are all smart enough to fall some place in the middle of those two sides. Also, I wished that people who create info-graphics on Facebook would bother to fact check them every once in awhile, I want to see your works cited!
That is all I have for today, I am going to try harder to update this thing more often. I just feel like no one reads it. Maybe turning it baby poo green will help.
