So I’m listening to Beds Are Burning by Midnight Oil, Beds Are Burning
whose lead singer I’ve read is now the Environmental Minister in Australia, well done you.  Anyone, they sing, “Let’s give it back.” and I’m thinking, “Like that would ever happen.”  Angry, cynical me.  I don’t really have a personal reason.  I mean, I have a really good life, in spite of my illness. I have a decent place to live, enough food, medical care.  Everything I need.  I just keep reading about all the shit humans do to one another, and the crap corporations pull, and the morons in Congress, and it just makes me furious.  Not sure what to do about that, except never go on line, and “Like that would ever happen.”  😉  So sorry, people.  Don’t mean to be a dick.  It’s just frustrating.

On a bright side, I downloaded iTunes on my pc, since I never use my macbook, and I don’t have an ipod or anything.  Great sound, and you can set it so things play at the same sound level so there’s no turning the sound up and down continuously, which drives me crazy.  Er.  Crazier.  It’s a joke.  Duh!

I am making lovely chicken stuff for dinner.  Thighs, carrots, potatoes, wine, chicken broth, rosemary.  It is smelling heavenly.  I’m cooking.  Yay, me.

Not a big fan of some things that have gone on in Ireland, but the anti-marriage equality people demonstrated some real class in their loss. Then there is quite a bit about the Duggars, and the way we do things in America if you have connections or are a celebrity. It does disgust. Seriously.

Update:  Another side to the Duggar business.  I am torn, because the people surrounding the first bit I posted are scum, but this person puts out a logical argument for consideration regarding Josh Duggar.  Not Christian, not religious, but I kind of agree with her on this.  At what age do you become mature enough to understand the true consequences of your actions?  It seems they did the right things by reporting it, etc., what else could they have done besides not be complete hypocrites later on?  Opinions, anyone?
