I hear you, AngstyLady! I can get myself so tied up in an angry knot when I become aware/pay attention to news about such injustices. Facebook is not my friend! I find myself getting worked up and ready to rip off a post on a thread that upsets me, and my husband catches me and says "don't do it!" He's right - it serves no real purpose other than to get myself even more worked up. I need to do better to protect myself. I mean, I can vent my views about these things but does it change anything? Not really, and I just get worked up in a really unhealthy way! What I will do that makes me feel a little better is sign online petitions about issues I care about; at least then I feel like I might be helping to implement change somewhere in a more constructive manner, and I don't get as emotionally charged up.
