Life in the Land of Dreamy Dreams

There is nothing quite so low as the public forum on NOLA.com. It never ceases to amaze me how many morons come out to snipe at one another. And it always, ALWAYS becomes racial. The same idiots bait each other, back and forth, back and forth, no matter the topic. It’s like a game to see who can sink the lowest, fastest.

 And yet, it’s like picking a scab. I read the news story and my eyes are drawn down, down the page, and into the slime.

But this one just drove me over the edge. Here’s the pic that accompanied the story:

Really, how awful is that? Here’s this old guy who’s just so happy to have his pet back after a fire…and he ends up dead in another arson a few years later.

The dilemma of whether or not to reproduce the specific comments that set me off was taken out of my hands- the worst have been deleted by the moderator since the story came out- let’s just say they largely involved unnatural acts with the duck, allegations that if he was black, we’d all assume he’d set himself on fire with a crackpipe, and the like.

So I’m done. My blood pressure will stabilize, my moods improve, and sense of hope and faith in the human condition vastly improved.

Practically a panacea!
