*nodnod* Which was exactly my initial reaction--and actually the thing that drove me to make the post. I was bothered by him saying that and I sort of had to parse out WHY I was so bothered by it.
Also, as I am too shy to actually comment on your blog (which I check pretty often), I just wanted to say thank you. Your posts reminded me that it IS all right to get angry about injustice--that being a mature and intelligent person doesn't mean you have to lay back and take whatever abuses society is throwing at you. I needed the reminder.
And I'm sorry about your cat. I was close to mine, too, though he was the whole family's and not JUST mine. His kidneys gave out in May '06; he was only nine. ...Not that I expect you to care about Internet Stranger #27384923's cat, I just wanted to say I sort of know how it feels and it made me cry remembering.
