Against Hate
Posted: 2002-12-16 03:27am
I was born into a fairly strange family.
My dad was/is a desiel Mechanic
My mother was a Drug Dealer, and a member of the Political Arm of a Terrorist Organization. (The Students for a Demcratic Society, which supported & Founded the Terrorist groups The Weatherman Underground, and it's offshoot the Symbonese Liberation Army)
My Parent's devorced when I was still a baby because my father couldn't stand my mother's continued decent into radical politics and her association with more, & more Violent people.
I grew up communting between the world of my Middleclass father, and the strange very radical people my mother associated with. While I treated my stepmother with a great deal of hatred, my stepfather was a very violent and abusive person. This came to a head, at one point when my mother kidnapped me, and took me far away from civilization.
As a reusult of the legal battles, and my own actions, several things happened that fortunatly caused my mother to leave her Second Husband, get off drugs, and start to set her life in order.
At this time I have no problems dealing with my mother, yes she's still a bit "Out There", but her third husband is a very good and honerable man, who has served this country rather well. The worst arguement we have ever gotten into was when I correctly pointed out that he is married to a woman who once was "Jane Fonda".
Part of what aggrivates me so much with Arimnas (and the rest of his Church of the Creator Breathren) and with Demios Anomaly. Is that I have lived with their counterparts on the redical Left of the 1970's. I have seen what damage programming children with mindless hatred does. The damage inflicted on the children is the worst. You do worse then destroy the lives you end, and threaten, you doom the future generations and the lives they will take or effect.
Part of the problem with attacking symbols and stirring up hatred, is that it continues the cycle. I have spent my adult life, trying not to hurt others. Lately the problems with my sister, really have tempted me. I really don't want to go down that road, and I really had hoped that my sister's children would have been spared such damage.
