Ignorance and Hypocrisy
They seem to be the primary paints on the pallet used to portray this nation's grand design.
I can't understand how people can get so impassioned, so empowered, so violent, using these things about which they know nothing as fuel for their fire.
I don't know anything about either presidential candidate. When you ask me my opinion, I'll tell you I have none, because I don't really believe I know enough about either side to make an informed decision. However it seems to me that people are basing more of their opinions, the ways in which they define themselves and wish to define the world around them, on what essentially amounts to nothing.
At least I admit I know nothing. You pick up your nothing like it's a fucking weapon, like it's a birthright, like it's an absolute truth handed down from on high for you to use to show everyone how wrong they are, like a tool to make yourself not feel so small and powerless.
And it extends farther than just the political spectrum, but the issue has made itself blindingly obvious as of late.
