what makes me the most mad

when people are selfish under the guise of reform and responsibility, when they don't take any responsibility themselves. when statements in a debate are scornful and disparaging. when the good of the community can be ignored without a second thought, because individuals consider themselves more important than another group (particularly a group that is unable to defend themselves). when people's arguments have little to do with the real issue at hand and instead focus on concerns that, while valid, matter little if the central problem isn't resolved. when arguments have great sound-bites and one-liners to persuade against the issue, but commenters offer no reasonable, realistic alternatives.

but what makes me the most irritated is that i don't have any wine right now. but also that other stuff
