You know from reading me that it doesn't really take much to get my thong in knot, and we all know how uncomfortable that can be. Disrespecting members of the military, Religio-bigotry, Racism, these things and more can set off my anger and get me ranting.
But there is one other thing, possibly the hottest of "Hot Buttons" for this late-starting mother. You want me angry enough to break or shoot something, show me an article about a child being exploited by a person in a position of trust.
Sure, the random predators who prey on children are vile scum, shitstains on the fabric of humanity. But none is so evil, so completely without redemption, than a parent or other family member who would use their own child or relative for sexual gratification. This animal has bent, folded, stapled and mutilated into oblivion their membership card in the Human Race.
Want a few examples of what I'm talking about? Merri leaves no question on this whatsoever. Read that, then go hug your children tight.
Mama - I couldn't have said it any better. Thank you!

To think that sociologists can rationalize their behavior is beyond me or that the media can downplay how sorry these animals are. Children are such trusting innocents and those that prey on them have no place in my world. Rope, tree no instructions needed.
