AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Apparently I'm a terrorist. This is the only logical conclusion I can reach based on the events of the last month or so. In each of these occurrences, the Federal or State government have fired metaphorical weapons at me. In a short period of time the following have occurred (yes I'm whining again, deal with it):

The state of California decided it was okay for voters to strip rights from other citizens.

The Obama administration decided that equality really wasn't that important and went against their campaign promises in favor of upholding don't ask, don't tell.

The Department of Labor voted to not provide a grant to the program I work with, stripping us of a fair amount of our funding.

I think it might be beneficial for me to stop paying taxes and start telling the government to bite me. Why should I support them and help others if every time I turn around I'm gonna get bitch slapped.

Tragedy and then some

With all the events that have happened in the last couple of weeks, I've been wanting to share so much with the world. Mostly it's been anger. Anger over the events following last November's California State Elections, when a (very) slim majority of voters opted to strip the right to marry away from same sex couples. Yes, this is terrifying for many reasons, predominantly the fact that a slim majority (really, only two percent more) vote for a constitutional change that effects the rights of many, and it happens. systematically oppressing a minority group. This is digustingand terrifying for us, and many many other groups. Imagine if 51% of the state decided that it would be better if interracial couples shouldn't marry, wrote an initiative, and passed it. Same concept, different minority. I'm on a tirade and I digress.

On this same day, I ran a kayak into a rock. The boat flipped and my poor beloved iPhone and camera (yes this is a materialist complaint) were destroyed.I wasn't that upset about this, until I started readjusting to life without them. Luckily for Mr. Ninny, Frankus and Danger(Space)Kitty delivered devices for contact. Now I'm back in the world, and trying to step up my game. I've had students graduate, and made a quick trip to LA. I wanted to post little nothings of these events to this here Ninnyspot, but I failed. Apparently my new nifty, text a post system isn't functional, even though Blogger says it is. Hrrmmmm.... We'll see.
