All right. I'm really sick and tired right now, so I'm not all here. At least I'm trying to be.

But on topic, I don't know yet. I don't have time to read all this because I need to leave for work in three minutes. I'll get back to you after work.
I'm expecting a long, well-thought out post by you within five hours, also some 'wtf was he?' on don seigleman.
First, Don Seigleman made national news as the former governor of Alabama who was facing charges for crime he committed while in office. He still ran for a second non-consecutive term against present governor, Bob Riley while facing said charges. He lost the election and the trial. If you didn't know this, you haven't been paying attention.

Now, before I get into the rest of this, I'll have to remind you that I'm not all here and that I don't really have a lot of firm opinions on the topic. I'm a white male, but I don't consider myself privileged. I'm poor. I'm trying hard to make life work for me. I have a broken tooth and can't get it fixed because my insurance doesn't cover dental. As a bipolar, I have the whole world looking at me as if I have some kind of mental disorder, though I'm working on a plan to change the way bipolar is viewed in the medical industry. If being a white male was as privileged as they say it is, I believe it would be a lot easier for me, along with a few other white, male bipolars to get bipolar taken off the list of mental illnesses.

No. Being a white male does not make you privileged. Just because the majority in power are white males, doesn't mean all white males have that kind of power. I'm sorry. The logic is flawed there.
