Control Freaks
Wow. Was Andrea reading my mind or what?
Really, I'm sick of so many things that have to do with both blogging and real life. I was going to try and write a long, whining post about it, but there's no use in that.
Here is what sums up the problem: the need for control. Barb hits the nail on the head -- people act like they care, but what they really want is control. If you refuse to be controlled, if you don't do what they say, then by God, they will make you pay. How dare you think for yourself!
This applies to just about everything this week: feminism, Muslims, crunchy-cons (and their cheerleaders), ungrateful pacifists rescued by the military, leftists always looking for their pound of flesh...I could go on and on.
Anyway, that's what's been going through my mind this week.
Well, it's not just something in the Florida water, because I've been down this week also. Of course, some of what's making me frustrated is personal and not about "the outside world", but it all boils down to "What on earth are these people thinking?" I'm tired of dealing with all this nonsense.
