Okay, everyone. I need a moment of life affirming apolplexy

[MrScorpio]

The adrenaline exploding, eyes widened in an intense glare of utter rage, blood flash flooding through an over-engaged cardio-vascular system, the heart pounding harder than Taiko drums.

I need something to really piss me off.

It's much more suitable than this constant malaise that I've been feeling as of late over my issues of self-inadequacy and powerlessness. Not to mention the general sense of national disenfranchisement of an entire class of lower to middle income citizens, such as myself.

In a way, I believe that the powers that be want me to cower in the simpering ball of ineptitude and hidden pain.

So, suggestions please. No requests for violent outbursts and acts of terror, striking out at "The Man". No reenactments of Michael Douglas' character in FALLING DOWN, committing acts of terrorism as of result of his feeling of loss of white male privilege. Sorry, Homey don't play that.

Something positive and life affirming please. Basically, an injustice and what I can do to right it.

Something to restore my waning sense of humanity.

Something to make another human being smile, because I was there in their time of need.

Also, it would help a lot if I drew a paycheck from it. Only because I need to eat and keep a roof over my head.

1. My dear MrScorpio!

I cannot help you at all, sweetie...

All I have are these: :hug: :pals:

I do hope you find what you're looking for...

2. Lots of orgs need community organizers!

And community organizing is a great way to channel that anger. When I was a consumer advocate, I'd keep records of the kinds of complaints we were getting. I'd compile those once a month, and give them to the organizers, who would start campaigns dealing with the issues I was seeing--billing problems, poor service, medicare or medicaid discrimination, etc. I shared an office with one organizer. Angriest guy I've ever known. But one hell of an effective organizer!

3. Go learn how to be a child sex abuse survivors' advocate.

Those who have been victimized by those heinous crimes need all the help they can get.
