There are some topics so disgusting, so horrifying, and so evil that I can't bring myself to really think about them. I feel like if I start looking into the utter destruction of ecosystems or the mass burning of sea turtles or the lies about the size and number of leaks or the hundreds of thousands of people suddenly out of work or the soon-to-be negligent homicides of countless people that will be poisoned and then come to the conclusion that the people responsible knew full well how dangerous these risks were when they decided against necessary safety steps, I'm going to fucking kill someone. I'm not a violent person, in fact I consider myself basically pacifistic. I don't hit back in unavoidable fights and I capture spiders from my home so I can let them free outside. I don't want to become something other than nonviolent, so I can't think about the oil spill. Maybe that makes me a coward.
