Protest

There's a protest in Washington DC today against "big government". That's great. People ought to be angry about what's happened in the last decade or two. I just think that their anger is a bit misguided. They should be protesting against the bankers who took the money, health insurance companies who denied care, politicians who sent their sons and daughters to die for someone's wet dream.

Their anger is aimed at Obama for speaking the truth, for being non-white, for making them feel uncomfortable about themselves. Obama expects them to act like adults but they cannot, because they've been taught to act like adolescents for so long. As they say: change is difficult.
