Long time no see.
I've been bad about, well, the internet lately. I just haven't had much of a desire to be online and keep up with things. But here are some things worth blogging about:
1. Sandusky was convicted on 46 charges. Amazing. For once, the justice system actually took the side of the victims. I'm truly and honestly pleasantly shocked. This is, sadly, the minority of cases. I wish everyone at Penn State could go down for it instead of just him, but this will have to do, I suppose. I still believe that Sandusky went down for a sex ring that he was just a part of, but no one else seems to hold my view on that, so maybe I'm just getting jaded from working in SA for too long.
2. SCOTUS didn't rule enough of SB 1070 unconstitutional for my tastes. Because apparently state mandated racism isn't unconstitutional. Which I guess shouldn't surprise me, but there you go. Rachel Maddow did it best, of course.
3. I started a discussion on facebook about whether or not marriage is inherently patriarchal. There were differing opinions, but I still think that the privileging of certain relationships is inherently, well, not necessarily sexist, but it certainly creates unnecessary power structures. So, I guess that's where I stand on that. Mmhm. This opinion in response to my mother's wedding last week, haha!
