insanity and ground

am i being naive by assuming that this arizona immigration bill (SB 1070) will actually be stopped before it is enacted on the ground in (less than) 90 days? Arizona is getting such a bad name that ariZona iced tea had to remind everyone that they are from New York, and have no formal affiliation with the state of Arizona. (a good sign for sure, but notice that the CEO didn't say anything in his little note about how insane the measure was. oh, the things people do for business.)

or maybe i'm not assuming it won't be enacted, i'm just phrasing it that way to myself because i can't deal with the possibility that it could be. after all, this kind country has countless laws on the books that operate on AND perpetuate racist principles...some, obviously, more explicitly than others.

i had a conversation with a friend a few weeks ago about absurdity and insanity. sometimes it all (it all being society, politics, life, reality, the world, the country, the history textbooks, the news, the cities, the people, the death---you know, it ALL) is so incongruous with anything human or good, so incongruous with itself ( and yet simoultaneously wildly consistent is the rationale of capitalism and oppression, hence our difficulties in countering it), so ABSURD that i for a split-second (or many) take solace in the idea that if it keeps getting worse, status quo will be 100% unsustainable (as if it werent already) and spontaneously combust. anyway, point is, i consider myself really privileged to be surrounded by people and ideas that remind me that i'm not crazy. that's all for now. in the meantime, i hope everyone finds what they need to continue trying to make this world better than we found it.
