My Republican "pals" told me I need to stop reading stories like this, because it only upsets me.

Needless to say, I no longer have ANY fucking Republican "pals" in my life. I try to be open-minded about different viewpoints, and have tried to be tolerant of those with different politics than mine. But I've decided that it's no longer a mere difference of opinion; it's a matter of basic human values (not to mention the basic survival of our country and our world). I can't be friends, or friendly, with someone who doesn't possess basic human decency. Anyone who voted for Bush voted for this photograph and for the hundreds of thousands of cases like it that were NOT photographed. The Bush supporters want MORE photos like this. Being friendly with such people only encourages them.

Our country really could've been an amazing force for good in this world, but we fucked up. We got arrogant and greedy. Maybe another country will do better -- it's too late for the USA.
