Fear and Loathing.

I can't fucking stand abuse of authority.
(vector: [livejournal.com profile] postvixen, [livejournal.com profile] prester_scott)

Very few things piss me off as much as abusie of power or authority. I have a high sense of respect for authority, ingrained in me from childhood, and I want to respect al those who serve our country, military, police, officials, what have you. But when I read shit like this (this isn't the worst, just the most recent), it really gets to me.

Did you know that in DC there's a law which the Councilors passed which simply exempts them from parking violations? They could park in the fucking middle of an intersection and not get ticketed for it. There's not even any fucking pretense to it, it's there because they have the power to put it there.

"You don't have to cooperate." "We can do this one of two ways. Show me your ID right now." What kind of shit is that? I want to fucking break something I'm so angry. And like I said, this isn't the first, nor the worst, of what I've heard.

*smolders*

In short: Meh.

I can't say this in the community, so I'm posting here on my journal... I don't mean to sound as scathing as I fear I might, but I find it morbidly fascinating that this girl's whole explaination for being ProChoice boils down to the fact that she simply doesn't care.
