Dear Internet,
I know you care deeply about things. I know this, because you keep telling me about it.
I get it, I am a bad person because I am not thinking about all the deep things you are thinking about every single moment of every day. What you don't seem to realize is that I was a bad person before you mentioned this to me, and I will be a bad person after you are long gone - and it has absolutely nothing to do with your self-righteous anger!
I don't "get" a lot of it. To use an example from the last week: A lot of people are talking about the Navy Seal who is transgender. I see some people shocked by it, and I see others applauding her. But no one is really taking a close look at this and realizing that A SEAL HAS TRANSFORMED INTO A WOMAN. Why is no one concerned about Selkies among us???
These are real concerns, and they are getting lost in the debate between let's embrace everyone and fearing anything you don't understand. We understand selkies all too well, and obviously need to start building a wall around the ocean to keep them from slipping into the country to steal 'Merican jobs!

I'm going to spew more hatred at you, Internet, in the form of these links to entries: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/661052.html
I fully expect that half of you will express your disapproval at the existence of those entries, while the other half will rush to hug those entries unconditionally like the hippies that you are. Then you will fight each other in a battle over "who is right", weakening everyone in the process, and leaving us all vulnerable to be attacked. Which is just what the selkies want!
