We are all Idiots

This has nothing to do with my post.  But look!  One of my children is sleeping!

I have been getting too caught up in the public aspect of politics, as of late.  Twitter, especially, has become instrumental in my access to immediate information because the only news I watch is on the Daily Show.  The problem with being informed, I have found, is I lean toward stroking out from rage.  This is not good for my body, and especially not good for my marriage*

Facebook, in particular, is absolutely horrid for political opinions.  I know that there are people out there who disagree with my views, but I had no idea how many of them are my friends.  And family.  Do I love them less?  Of course not.**  But every time they repost a "Like this if you agree" or "Let's take back ____ from the _____!"  I feel the black spot in my brain getting a little bigger.

And the thing is, they feel the same way about me, I am sure.  Just as I cannot understand how they are completely indifferent to my incredibly passionate ideals, they cannot understand how I don't give two nuts about their causes.

So what's a girl to do?***  I know that a lot of people truly love the "hide" feature on Facebook, but I love these people, and I want to be informed of their non-political happenings.  Maybe I will just start taking baby aspirin and wait until November.  When things will die down from either the death panels or the mandated female circumcisions.
