Feelin' the hateness...

LOL! The Mormon Church is whining, whining, about people bitching and protesting it's role in California's Prop 8 (aptly rhymes with hate of course). One sometimes has to wonder why religions concern themselves, almost to the point of exclusion of all else, with what other human beings do with their naughty bits. You know, war and poverty and whatnot just do not rate when the "evil that must be stopped," is going on behind closed doors between consenting adults. Really, if Mormons, and members of other religions, especially the Evangelicals (Dr. Dobson, et al) really did want to reduce the number of times homosexuals engaged in S. E. X. then they should actually be for Gay Marriage, not against it. Because, believe me, if you want to stop having so much sex with the person you are dating, marry him or her and give it a few years of seeing each other in thousands of unguarded moments, familiarity eventually does breed contempt, or at least, inhibits the libido toward your spouse anyway. But seriously, churches should have their marriage, and the government should get out of that business altogether, and enforce civil union contracts (simply stop calling them 'marriage licenses'). Churches that want to have marriage ceremonies for gay couples can do so if they choose, churches that don't, can keep on being bigots.
See, problem solved. Was that so hard?



Update: Some would, undoubtedly, like to revel in some sense of hypocrisy on my part: So, to continue being a dick, I'll now, cock block that:
I agree, black Christians are even bigger assholes to vote for Prop 8 than white Christians; given their experience with naked bigotry.

    The argument that churches were going to be sued was the dumbest thing I heard. I can't, as a non-Jew demand to be married in temple with a rabbi. That already can't happen and there are no lawsuits. Ir there were I'd personally sue the Church of the Creator off the map. Fred Phelps would be crying about his home being sold at auction to pay for the lawsuits he would surely loose.

Happy Days! Opie, Richie, Fonzie, and Andy for Obama

See more Ron Howard videos at Funny or Die This video is simple sweet nostalgia for me! I grew up watching the Andy Griffith Show , an innocent and sweet black and white (double meaning I was of course unaware of at the time) show about simple times, and apparently devoid of the undercurrent of racism and the raging debate of Vietnam occurring in our country at the time ... or so it seemed. The morality plays within most of the episodes often, at least, subtly touched on the issues of the day and all the while simultaneously and deftly, taught tolerance, and held up to, albeit good natured, ridicule the intolerance and destructive division occurring in our country at the time. In a way that only sweet southern gentility could have pulled off. Floyd the Barber would approve this message. For me personally, The Andy Griffith Show was a serendipitous coincidence and weird connection to Hollywood because it's make-believe town of Mayberry , North Carolina was modeled after my father...

"Some concern the direction the party has taken..."

Yeah, right off the edge into McCarthy-esque quasi-fascist land. Colin, like myself and millions of other Americans, are tired, tired, fucking tired, of using citizen's fear and yes, loathing (racism), to divide and conquer the electorate to simply maintain power. That way lies madness. And I'm afraid the fear and loathing cannot be put back in the bottle. The Right intends to poison the discourse to de-legitimize a possible Obama presidency -- but this will not be the 90's and anti-Clinton mania on the right, it will be outright xenophobia and pure animus. The crazy right-wingers who value their perceived status above their nation are the real traitors, but that fact will be lost on those who have consistently played victim while simultaneously attacking everyone and anyone who isn't in lock-step with them. Even conservative pundits (Parker, Will, Buckley, et al), and former political darlings of the Right (Powell and Rice) are being called traitorous scum at this very...

The Political Race and Friendships

For the last couple of weeks I've had a bit of a running conversation via e-mail with an old Air Force buddy about racism, especially concerning politics, and the Obama presidential campaign specifically. It has been exasperating to an extent because I allow him to get my goat, which puts me on the defensive, and that isn't, to say the least, the strategy that leads to positive persuasion. I'll be honest, I enjoy debate, but I'm lousy at persuasive argument. I make a lousy sales person because I often forget the dictum, " always be closing ," and meander around the showroom of ideas picking up shiny things and get momentarily and thus, fatally distracted. Just because I enjoy something doesn't translate automatically into being very good at something, if it did, I'd be a great golfer and a world renowned movie critic. Enjoying the passion of defending a set of beliefs based on evidence and reason, doesn't mean you will become particularly good at i...
