To the super-qualified sudden-housewife: Contact a local charity or other nonprofit -- especially a small, non-bureaucratic one, like a food pantry -- and offer your services. No matter what your field is, you clearly have skills in organization, networking, dealing with people. Even if you go in there and pack groceries for hungry people, you'll quickly find out where your skills are needed, and you'll be useful on a basic level rather than being frustrated. And then, if you want, you could parlay that into a paying field.

A: I want to say “Yes,” but I am confused by the question. Can anyone explain?

I'll try to explain. The Florida house is not crazy, they are fascist, homophobic, bigoted assholes. Once you accept that, and the fact that they think it is RIGHT to be fascist, homophobic, bigoted assholes, everything else they do fits right in.

Until recently, I was of the opinion that genuine evil (think Hitler) was a relatively rare phenomenon, and that people in general were just swept up with it, kind of as though they were in a trance. But no. This is flat-out evil. Premeditated, intentional, inexcusable evil.
