Tired of Ignorance

How many of you think that some day ignorance, hate and bigotry will some day be gone and that it should have happened at least by sometime last month?

Do Elections Bring Out The Ugly in Everyone?
In speaking with folks about their views on the election lately, it has been a truly frightening experience. Folks have expressed some of the most bigoted, hateful and ignorant things.

And the folks that already had uneducated views on social issues have taken it up a notch and started saying some absolutely dreadful things.

The latest two instances of blind hate that I've seen have just made me feel tired and hopeless that we will ever see a more civil world. The first was an article about pamphlets being distributed by a white supremacist group near Allentown, PA. The other was this delightful spate of comments to an add in Italy saying that folks are born gay that someone posted in Ravelry.

Well, at least as soon as I get past all the dreaded ribbing.

Each square took approximately half a hank of Manos del Uruguay yarn, and I left enough yarn on each square to sew them all together.
