Yesterday I discovered that one of my former students has grown up to be a neo-con. She posted some urban folklore email thing about a welfare mom dripping in gold, and that she was pissed off about it.
I commented on it, saying that I was not allowed to get health insurance because I have a pre-existing condition. Thus the system wants me to die.
I was doing a Gandhi/MLK strategy trying to put a human face of the suffering in front of them. I was baiting them to agree that they think I should die. As far as I got was that they declared that they really didn't give a shit one way or the other.
I let it go. Bigots are highly reluctant to change their points of view, especially when they are speaking from a detached stance.
Buddha bless them and have mercy. They are putting bad vibes into the dharma. Karma will revisit them.
