“It’s like showing emotion has become a bad thing. Like there’s something wrong with you if you’re really in love or really angry and you show it. Like if you feel those powerful emotions and you express them, instead of keeping them inside or expressing yourself politely, then you must be someone who needs therapy, or Prozac. That’s the world we’re in right now.”

But of course...strong emotions are messy, and we can't have purity of mind and spirit when we have messes now can we? And messy emotions belong to messy (ah, maybe trashy, maybe not pristine, maybe not bleached and scrubbed) people...you can't have people like that spoiling the country club of our American dreams now, come on! (you know that country club I'm talking about: the one Mitt and Mead and Ann and Ann and their sons belong to -- and the rest of the beautiful people sign up to be on the approval waiting list for)

More like Whole Foods and Lululemon...or whatever new "healthy", "progressive" fad is coming down the pike as of late.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness I could have added some names from "the left" -- but I figured those were already a given.
The precious snowflake set either way.
