The hate and religion industry (usually packaged together) are guaranteed moneymakers. [View all]

Really. This isn't hyperbole on my part.

Look at how some politicians got elected and/ or got repug money: they spewed idiocy filled with hate.

Look at how some "news" sites and blogs (or, blawgs) are committed solely to stirring up hate and lies, and see how much cash they get from ads, and/or mentions, which means more hits, on various hate blogs and fox noise.

I'm disappointed that I never got in on the act, but in the opposite direction, or maybe as one of countless outlets that spew hate as "news" items, but hate more properly aimed at the real haters.

Because I couldn't. I, like most "libruls," prefer reason over blind hatred. I can't spew lies as though they were truth, no matter how much I disagree, or hate, the rhetoric spewing from the butt-volcanoes of the other side.

I may be gone soon,thrown from my home because while they constantly scream, "Get a job!" they sent most jobs overseas and because I can barely function, and am nearly paralyzed due to anxiety and depression, most of it due to chemical imbalance, but inflamed by the insanity we lived through during the 8-year Bush error and the current insanity threatening all we know.

Something has to give, and soon, or I will.
