I'm angry because of how the whole soccer team thing fell out. I'm angry because of this Bucaram bullshit. I'm angry because our government is just about as shameful as Ecuador's
Perhaps it's a lack of direction that angers you? Looking at the politics thing, I find it hard to compare a government that gets overthrown on a random and frequent basis with a government that has never been overthrown (where never starts with the ratification of the Constitution). Ditto the accusation of imperialists (by which I assume you mean the US and its cohorts) destroying Iraq with the implication that the US et al are no better than terrorists. And at the top of the whole list is the soccer debacle.
It seems like your anger is undifferentiated, like everything is an 11 and there are no gradations. I wonder if it's not that anger is so much a problem as that right now, it's overwhelming you and beating you soundly about the head and shoulders.
Text isn't a good medium for this conversation. I hope what I've written comes out in a loving manner. Cozy family time chit chat would be better. palecur and I would like to make a better effort to do that. Casual stuff, even just an hour at Harbucks would be lovely and (I hope) not a stressful consumption of time. Take care, Ron, you are very much loved.
