I won’t be going to work Monday because Columbus Day makes me sick. Really sick.
I could be honest with my employers and tell them I'm staying home to celebrate Native American Day like they do in South Dakota, but, hell, I'm so tired of "fighting the good fight." Really, I am. So tired of defending Truth. Even when it doesn't appear to fit the picture.
Sometimes it's easier to let them (whoever they are) live with their lies.
