Fuck the Fuck Right Off

I'm recalling some things from when I was in elementary school. Things that annoy me 40+ years later. Like, why were we told that Russians loved their athletes and dancers more than "actual" heroes, while here we are in the US rewarding athletes with adoration and bazillion dollar contracts and also Dancing With The (fucking) Stars? Why were we told that "now we know" there is only "one god" vs the awesomeness of Greek mythology? WTF? How did that slip past everyone? Also, who else wanted to murder someone when there was the "do a report on your hero" bullshit assignments: you're teaching me about racist/sexist asshats - where are the sheroes? Ah, but in the 1970s school system, there were two ladies: Helen Keller and Harriet Tubman. Does anyone know who Caroline Herschel is? or Barbara McClintock? how about Mary the Jewess? or Valentina Tereshkova? Marie Curie you probably have heard of; and you certainly know who Jane Goodall is. But I am in my early 50s and actually only learned about most of these women while I was looking for the name of a woman not on this list because she is wicked famous but I am wicked old and forgetful. I'm hating America's old white men more and more each day and if one more idiot says "not all" fuck the h*ck right off. Terry Gilliam's recent rant just turned me off to everything he's ever done and he can fuck the h*ck right off - "I didn't do anything..." fuck off and know that if you weren't part of the problem then no one lumps you in the sum. When you need to point out that "it wasn't me!" then you're totes a part of the problem and you should totally fuck off. Fuck the fuck right off.
