More "Wife Swap"

I was about to start yet another journal entry with "Okay, so..." and then I realized that I do that far too often. You'd never know I was a smart kid back in the day because it sure doesn't show! Oh well.
Tonight's "Wife Swap" really blew me away. I mean, I don't even know what to say. I guess I live in a plastic kindness bubble where people just don't treat people that way, you know? Especially when she and her husband went on about how their spirituality was all about honoring people and caring for them. Gah. I just can't imagine.
I don't expect the whole world to agree with me but I don't expect the world to treat me like crap either. I have always been so shocked whenever anyone ever yelled anything at me out of a car window or treated me poorly in some way. And I still remember acutely how sad and hurt I felt when Ohio passed Issue One by such a large majority because it felt like a serious and personal smack in the face to me, since I'd devoted so much time and energy to serving my community there.
And I'm a pacifist, but by the gods, if anyone ever ever EVER spoke about my Jennifer that way I think I would claw their eyes out. (Or at least pout a lot and get really mad.)
