The musings of a crazy lady from Hamilton, Ohio. "Madwoman in the attic" is a reference to the book "Jane Eyre," and our world where we try to silence and "lock away" the mentally ill.

Boycott Lowe's!
I read today that Lowe's had pulled it's ads from a reality show called "All-American Muslim," which is a-gasp-positive portrayal of American Muslims. I am furious, and do not plan on ever entering a Lowe's store again, unless they profusely apologize. I am sooooo tired of people making up shit about people who are "different" from them in some way, be it religion, sexuality, nationality, etc. Stereotyping and generalizing is wrong, and people only do it so they can feel superior. It's ignorance at it's purest. Should I then go around saying that all Christians are haters? No, because of people like my sister, Nic, who is a goodhearted, non-judgmental person of that faith. Should I say all Germans are inherently evil? No, look at those who worked against Hitler during World War II, and risked their lives to try and stop the suffering of millions. My point is, don't judge everyone by the actions of people who claim to speak for a group. That's like assuming George W. Bush speaks for all Americans, or that 19 hijackers speak for about a billion Muslims......in other words, it's ridiculous.
