Things that don't give me nightmares #9.

Oh, wait, this is a good one...


We (as Americans, don't know how it is where all my readers are) still live in a society where kidnapping, rape, and murder are NOT okay.

Y'know, sometimes, I almost actually wonder, what with politics getting so up to the edge and all of late.

BUT, whenever some little girl vanishes, and is found ripped to little bits, it's a national outrage.

So, horrific as these crimes are, and horrible as it is that they happen, and as awful and dumb as a lot of average people can be, at least in the final measure, we're still on the same page on the big things, like these crimes being horrible.

So, I breathe a sigh of relief that things like this are in fact, an aberration.

We're not too far gone yet.

The ratings for Nancy Grace are a testament to the common morality of most Americans.
...it's just a damned shame Nancy Grace gets ratings...cuz, man, she's just fucking awful.

Her and her brunette clone, Jane Valez-Mitchell.

Watch either one, it's the same exact fucking show.
I'm serious, same fucking show, go ahead, and look.

They dig up adulterers (at best) or some murdering, molesting, raping, fecopheliac, necropheliac maniac, and spend the next 20 minutes or so waving a finger, and bullhorning their voice going "you're bad!! You're bad!! You!! Are BAAAD!!!".

No fucking shit.

This is news?

No?

This is entertainment?

To whom?

I dunno, yet another instance of our fucked up culture being an utter mystery to me.

BUT, the one thing I'll happily take from it, is that, again, me and most other rational civilized humans seem to be on the same moral page.

Sometimes, it really feels like I'm surrounded by zombies that want to eat my guts, it really does.

Maybe it's that "we surround them", horseshit that does it to me.

I see how easily people are led, and I feel like I have to hop in the back of a Jeep, and escape to Switzerland or something.

But, if Glenn tells his drones to eat a little girl, or fuck a baby, in the end, they'll pull back.

So, there's that.

Yeah, the common bond of humanity.
It keeps the being devoured nightmares away that it still exists.

I have to keep compulsively taking the country's temperature though for the slightest fluctuation.

Cuz you never know....

But for now...for now....I'll be okay....
