When patience is an unfortunate necessity

February 22, 2015

That's a picture from today of the Yahoo search result for the White House's official website.

Nobody should be treated the way the conglomerate has treated me.  

There's also the question of offending the Italian government.

There's also the horrifying thought of Leonardo DiCaprio ever being President.

I have never had serious, physical health problems, and whether I ever would have had psychiatric issues if my earlier life weren't so difficult and so much of the mental health care system weren't so bad is not a certainty.  If I were to allow every White House mistake to overwhelm my nervous system, I'd probably have every known, stress-related, physical ailment.

I also don't want to spend my time monitoring the White House.  I have my life to attempt to live.  When people are elected to office, that's supposed to be because they care about their country, know right from wrong, and are capable of not causing more problems than they solve.  The public has the responsibility to stay generally informed about what's happening, but the public is not supposed to have to worry all the time about what the people it elected and the employees of the people it elected are doing.  Democracy and the fabric of society are not supposed to be constantly in danger of crumbling because of evil behavior by the people in charge.
