I've read my way through all the Steubenville Files I was unable to watch or listen to all 12 minutes of the video. I got through about 4.5 minutes before I had to turn it off.

For my own sanity.

Why aren't more people talking about this? Are people trying to guard their sanity like I am, because if I think about it too much I start to lose it.

wow, I didn't think I could get even more upset.

AND YET

Ack, I'm sorry! This whole thing just fills me with rage. When I was younger, I used to hope things like this would inevitably get better, but now it feels like they haven't progressed at all (at least in small towns in Ohio).

You know, most of the world thinks things like this only happen in the South. And somehow, the media keeps letting them. I do wish some respectable national journalists would make this reach as many eyes as possible.

But then the asshole politicians would start talking about different kinds of rape again and that way lies madness.

I got news for you- middle of Ohio and PA are basically the same as that stereotype of the south, down to the KKK grand dragon being located *in Pennsylvania*.
