11. not blaming the gays

Nov 2012

I'm saying we're running ourselves ragged fighting over a tiny subset of what's wrong while the great majority of what's wrong is getting ignored. It'd be like working in a factory and having a knock-down, drag-down fight about getting two-ply toilet paper in the shitter and we finally get this concession. CEO acts all butt-hurt and we're supposed to be happy. What about shorter hours, higher wages, safer working conditions? Oh, right. The toilet paper fight sucked all the air out of the room, there wasn't time to talk about anything else.
