sometimes i weep involuntarily

social justice or the lack there of; fear so deeply engrained in us that it leaves us completely paralyzed - incapable of being open-minded to even hearing new ideas or exploring the real meaning of someone's words before labeling her/him some kind of "-ist", especially one that threatens "Americans"; the idea that one country is powerful enough, influential enough, ignorant enough and arrogant enough (a potentially catastrophic combination) to claim the name of two entire continents as "its name" 

these things move me to tears. thoughts of these things cause passion to well up inside me and spill over into salty droplets running down my flaming cheeks.

The same thing happens to me. Not always over the same issues, but there are alot of injustices that simply are unacceptable.
