Re: ooc: volume 2
Brace yourself for a rant...
I don't want this to turn into anything political or start a discussion that turns into something else because it's so easy to do and politics have nothing to do with this, but I hate people. They are the worst. End of story.
My area has been dealing with wildfires for a while now but they have been far enough away that it's done little more than cause crappy air quality and minor smoke issues but the other day some A-hole teenager deliberately set off fireworks in a gloriously beautiful area about forty minutes away we call the Gorge. He was seen filming it and laughing and when it caught fire he booked it out of there with his A-hole friends and they looked like they were having the time of their lives.
Now the wildfire is unstoppable and it's eating up miles and miles of some of the most beautiful land in the country. All the places I used to hike and visit as a child, even historical landmarks, are gone forever. FOREVER. It's so bad that ash is falling from the sky where I am. The air hurts your throat and burns your eyes. Wild animals are freaking out because their homes are gone. People are being evacuated, one of my clients is in danger of losing her house. I am extremely upset about all of this. We all are. I hate the person who did this. It was so friggin deliberate and selfish and horrible and I just want really bad things to happen to this individual because they've ruined so many lives and don't even care. That's the worst of it all. THEN, I hear that overnight thousands of dollars of firefighting equipment was stolen from the people who are trying to fix all this! I am so angry I'm getting exhausted. I know there are good people out there and all the crap Texas is dealing with has great examples of that but my area seems just to be filled with absolute scum. I think I just want to secede from the human race. End of rant.
