Thoughts on Bullying

I woke in the middle of the night.

All of the anti-bullying rhetoric that is going on right now has missed one very important thing.

DADT, DOM, gay jokes by comedians, Anti-gay screeds from right-wing politicians and preachers and the myriad of other things such as "marriage is only for one man and one woman" are just institutionalized bullying. It is no wonder that children bully children, adults do it all the time. Come on people we can build our world on better than this.

children are more raw/brutish and ironically more honest about their nastiness.
