Hate

I was in a bookstore yesterday and I saw a large group of youngish people assembling and talking in excited tones about the war. I was just out of earshot, but found myself getting madder and madder at what they were saying. It sounded to my ears like ignorant shit spit out by people who just don't get it.

I then realized that I couldn't tell from what they were saying whether or not they supported a war. I hated them either way. I got mad either way.

Any reminder of this war, the effect it will have on the world, my world, my friends, my family - makes me mad enough to hate.
