after spending 5 years in Latinn Ameridq, i can now say "I don't particularly like or trust Anglos". I didn't much before, but i saw the really really ugly and evil side of the US. The same applies yet to an even greater degree when it comes to heteros--with rare exceptions, hetero folk--especially male heteros--are too tedious and entitiled to trust or take seriously...... as to your tshirt, i'm not sure you really understand the varieties of socialism. as a Xan & a priest, i'm much more pink than red/white/and blue, thank the Holy One of Many Names. i do not object to payinig taxes, but i'll be damned if i contribute one penny to any war, anywhere-anytime. early xans, early irish lived a type of socialism. any hungry child, anyone who needs health care, anyone who needs education, housing, & a life spent with NO military experience are all welcome to my tax dollars, food, clothing, books, education, and a life free of the many kinds of isms--racism, sexism, heterosexism, economic inequality of HUGE magnitudes, clean-safe-non polluted & chemical'd food are welcome to it. and besides, i'd much rather live in a socialist state than in a scary filled with stupid-bad theology hating "Other" folk.....what a crock. and of what are you so afraid???
