kjpepperOne of the Amherst crazy ladies is making herself quite the nuisance this week by asking anyone that is unfortunate enough to come within a ten foot radius of her what their thoughts are regarding the VT tech shootings. Considering she has herself parked at the Amherst Post office bus stop, that's a lot of people.
First of all I get massively annoyed in the first place when random strangers come up to me and try to start conversations with me. Especially when it seems pretty apparent I'm doing something else - ie, have headphones/earbuds in, holding an OPEN book, or even just fucking staring into space. It's friggin 8 in the morning, lady, I'm not awake by any measure, and I don't want to talk about national news with you. Especially if you're going to get pissy with me for saying that the current state of terror gripping college campuses is going to quite frankly be forgotten at some point in the near future. I should have pulled out the UT texas shootings in the 1960s. Bet she didn't know about that, and it probably would have torpedoed her opinion that students and parents were going to remained terrified to go to college until the Rapture. I mean, by her logic, everyone would have been home schooled after Columbine. As it is, pointing out that folks are now going into large skyscrapers with nary a thought again definitely soured her on talking to me.
This is what you get when you interrupt my treasured staring into space time with fearmongering stupidity.
Besides, we as a nation are already healing from the tragedy... Just like on Monday my flist was filled with up to the minute updates on the shootings, this morning I open LJ to see entry upon entry crowing about how Sanjaya got voted off American Inanity. I find it both irritating and amusing that this show that I do not even watch has so saturated public consciousness that I know who Sanjaya even is and why this is apparently a big deal. How quicky we doth move on eh... and is no one going to comment about the fact that the banning of partial birth abortion has been supported by the Supreme Court?
Did I hear you say
My country right or wrong
My country oh so strong
My country going wrong
My country right or wrong
