Current Mood: nervous

(no subject)

I'm nervous about the rally this weekend. I mean, I know it's the right thing to do, which is why I'm going, but maybe I'm just overanalyzing and coming up with the 80 hojillion different ways this could end badly. I suppose it's a good thing I'm not the precognitive in my relationship. *wry chuckle*

Doug? Would it help if we sat down and looked at all the ways I can see it going well?

Maybe. I don't know. Maybe it's because it's the FoH. I mean, I know they're not some mythic boogeyman. And I know that they hate mutants because they're small-minded and petty, and it's not that I hate them. I pity them, more than anything. It's just that, well, when you bring two vastly differing viewpoints together in a situation like this, the potential for violence is magnified. Look at all the innumerable rallies that happen because of Roe v. Wade.

Being nervous is not wrong, if it makes you cautious but not so much that you do not go. Since you already said you were going to go, I think this is the good kind of nervous.

What can you do to help prevent violence?

Oh, I'm going to be cautious, all right.

There's not much you can do to prevent violence if others have it on their mind, but mostly you just have to be in control of yourself, and not offer anything that could be construed as an excuse for violence. But even then, in a charge atmosphere like this, all it takes is one little spark.

Nothing to get your hackles up over, Captain Neuroses. I have every contingency covered.

Famous last words, much?
