Damn You Kids! Get Off My Lawn!

Hi there. Meggs here.

I'm a 23 year old graduate student at the University of Louisville. I have a B.A. in Sociology with minors in Philosophy and Women's Studies from Kent State University. I'm currently working on my M.A. in Bioethics and Medical Humanities.

I'm a lesbian Socialist. No, really. Society being what it is, however, I generally adopt the title "Bleeding Heart Liberal." I make apologies for neither my sexuality nor the fact that I cling to the farthest left corner of the political spectrum by my fingernails. It is what it is. I maintain that there are wackjobs on both sides, the thing that distinguishes intelligent radicals from these other individuals is an understanding of the non-existent applicability of their ideals. I'd love to wake up tomorrow in a Marxist utopia...but I'm well aware that that's not going to happen...and likewise I'm not going to attempt to make it a reality - that would be a waste of my time. {For examples of nutjobs on the other side that have not come to the same conclusion google search "God Hates Fags", "Focus on the Family", "Pastor Rick Warren"...etc.}

I mainline MSNBC and livejournal like a junkie getting their favorite fix. I fangirl way too hard over Hillary Clinton and Rachel Maddow. If this is a problem for you, you'll just have to get over it because it's not going to change.

My future plans include obtaining a passport, surviving graduate school and acquiring a job that enables me to better a heathcare system in some way - if not in the U.S. then in Great Britain or France.

Much Love,
Meggs
