So today I started my really fantastic summer job *fingers crossed a teaching job will pop up for me this fall* and while I was at work, my boyfriend had a pretty disturbing conversation with our neighbor.
From previous conversations we know that she is a “Christian”, whatever it is that means to her- it seems to mean different things to different people nowadays.  And we know that she and her husband sleep in seperate bedrooms because his penis is apparently freakishly large- I assume so large that it needs it’s own side of the bed. 
So she starts in on politics today, which I don’t discuss with people I don’t know well just because it’s such a personal issue.  She starts talking about how she and her husband are stockpiling food, water, and supplies because in reading the bible they have somehow concluded that Obama is leading us into the end times.  Back up for a minute- does that make ANY sense on really any level?  I taught Sunday school for many years, and I don’t remember Obama ever being referenced in the bible.
She then goes on to say that her husband is terrified that we will no longer be able to purchase firearms, so in this panicked state he went out and bought guns.  I’m sorry, but in this day and age- would it be so horrible if gun laws were a little more stringent?  It really distrubs me that really any crazy person (such as the person who shot the doctor who performed abortions, or the man who attacked innocent people at the Holocaust museum) can just apply for and receive a gun.

I’m just frustrated that these crazy people live near me and are SO convinced that they are correct in their skewed belief system.
