I am not happy. In fact, I'd definitely define the emotion I'm feeling as "mad."

American Government. We have to answer questions, sometimes go to web sites and look up information.

The topic for this week? Civil Liberties. Not too bad, except...we had to go to web sites for hate groups.

I have just surfed through sites for the KKK, Black Panthers, Stormfront, and White Aryan Nation. We're supposed to list their beliefs and the reasoning for their beliefs. By the last one, I was literally writing "I don't know and I don't care." I just couldn't read any more.

You know, when you're part of a clearly defined portion of society, it's natural to be concerned with your portion. It's what you identify the most with. But when it grows to the level of thinking that your group's rights supercede everyone elses, and that your group is superior, then there are major, major problems.

And I am being really, really good right now, considering how mad I am.
