My Fourth of July was pretty tame....and the rest of the month looks to be that way too. I've just been doing lots of reading - which leads to not doing much else.
And after blogging for so long, I'm afraid I might be getting to that point where I'm starting to repeat myself. In fact, I'm pretty sure I have (on Xanga).
But here's one of life's ironies that I hope I haven't touched on yet.
It strikes me as funny that, in an age as socially progressive / culturally aware as ours, the people who often get offended by different opinions are the very ones who try to preach open-mindedness & sensitivity.

I am aware that this is a huge generatlization and that the reason for this is probably due to how much these people encounter ignorance / stubborness. (i.e. "burnout")
But snapping at someone and labeling them as "ignorant" doesn't exactly help expand their mind.
