Y'know, that former fascist dictatorship in southwestern Europe is now the fourth country in the world to legalize gay marriage (though it would seem like the 3rd to me, since as far as I know the Canadian law still technically has to go through the senate ... someone correct me if I'm wrong, or if the senate vote is just a formality)?
Get that?
Fascist.
Dictatorship.
Now one of the most socially progressive countries in the world.
And our country? Once perceived as the light of liberty in the world, the laissez-faire city on the hill, the most prosperous, admired, envied nation on earth?
At war with Islam, with science, with civil liberties, with the poor, with all manner of minorities (racial, social, political, etc.). Falling drastically behind in scientific, economic, political and social progress. Being eaten alive from the inside by cancerous greed, corporatism and lust for power.
Is there a point at which we'll have to give it up for dead and let the neofascists gnaw on the bones until they, too perish from their selfish shortsightedness?
It sickens me that they've even pushed things so far that I might even consider that my beloved country may eventually be beyond saving.
