All the talk about race lately, yesterday's post on riot grrl, and a recent work argument in which my coworkers ganged up on me for not thinking America is totes number 1, (and a number of other things)... has me thinking.
I am not popular.
Seriously, If America is a high school, I am sitting at the freaks' table. I'm gay, a socialist, a feminist (dude's can be feminists too!), and an outspoken atheist. I'm also a starving artist (in a dying art, no less!)
That said, I am really, really lucky to be a white dude. God only knows how much harder this shit would be if I weren't.
Just wanted to say that.
Don't forget being able-bodied. Our shitty health care system would suck a whole lot worse if you weren't. Especially if you're part of the Don't Get Sick or Don't Need Help plans.

BTW, not pointing out disability to make anyone feel guilty or anything. Just saying that those people who don't think we need a national health care plan (you know, the ones 99 mentions here) should get a fucking reality check.
