I mourn it. Not for some undying love of our government. I have no love for it at all. But I do mourn it because I had to make the unfortunate decision to cut people out of my life that day.
While my brother-in-law and I were watching the terrorists riot like the bumbling idiots they’ve always been on the TV, I checked my Facebook and saw that my godfather’s ex-wife had juuuuuuust posted “when in the course of human events.”
I just about lost it.
That’s the statement of a freak. It’s a statement that ranks right up there with Condoleeza Rice claiming that the Israeli aggression against Lebanon in 2006 was the “birth pangs of a new Middle East.” Just raw in its suckitude, vile in its awfulness, and an abject failure at everything it means to be an adult in America.
I blocked that bitch on the spot, have not spoken to her since, and that evidently had to be a shared fate with a few others. I also learned later that one of the individuals involved in that falderal was a teammate of mine in high school (he was a year ahead). I consider every varsity teammate of mine from those two years to be a brother…except for him.
