RE: I Am Homophobic

d-what is it you need to move on from? well, how 
about wasting your time and life energy trying to 
convince someone so stuck in his own bigotry that 
he can't even understand that "Socialism" is
ultimately
about caring about all of our relations, especially 
those that have been excluded, abused and mistreated,
but even those who stir up these hateful rivers 
ignorance...the wealth, greedy, ever power hungry
elite
...you seem to be attached to your misery--you don't
need it--do i understand the pain and pressure?
well, i'm not from Wyoming--but i am from the plains
of Montana--and well, yes, like you, i'm a 'fag'...
and i'm 'homophobic',too..but we can't change anything
by wallowing in our self pity...we can express our
rage--when it's what we can do to make the changes
happen--things could be worse, i appreciate the
beautty of the day, and i'm damn glad i'm not walking
by the side of the road with no money, no home,
no hope, gay, and Native American in Wyoming!, aren't
you? if you really want to disempower all the greedy
bigoted bastards--start right now. Have a wonderful
day...and do it your own way!
                                   Peace,
                                      Darrel
