has it seemed that the level of hatred in the u.s. has significantly expounded? i’ve been pondering that. i’ve been vacillating between whether i’m feeling increasingly paranoid or whether these feelings and instincts are justified. for instance, there have been reports that there is 244% increase in militia groups in this country. that is insane. i get it – some white people are freaking out about having a black president. their idea about what “their america” is feels threatened (gotta love when immigrants have the nerve to be indignant about “their country” changing. fear leads to stupidity. i understand that. still… ( Read more )

has he?
