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.

  1. 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.

The Continuing Rise of the Machines

Funny things, PCs. My $400 laptop runs circles around my $2300 Sony Vaio (2.8 GHz P4, 1GB RAM) because it is 5 years "younger." Amazing shit. I bought a little USB HDTV ATSC receiver and enjoy beautiful over-the-air HD broadcasts on my laptop... for shits and grins, I plugged it in to my Sony, and it was as if I'd asked it to solve Pi to 3 million decimal places! LOL! It did a decent, albeit, hitchy job of displaying standard definition channels, but HD? Nope. Ah, Moore's law continues, no longer is it clock cycles, but it will be again, and then it will be architecture change again (multiple cores for now), ad infinitum ... until we accidentally build SkyNet. I'm guessing in 10 years, a run-of-the-mill PC will have the computational power of some of the "supercomputers" of today. I know, not a stretch. I'm just trying to get my head around the software that will be inevitably written to bog down that much CPU/Memory horsepower, because those damn d...

Pleading for the future...

"I am pleading for the future; I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men." - Clarence Darrow. Keith Olbermann again cuts through the bullshit and talks about what many of us fear... and how to prevent it. If only we'd listen to reason. I know, what a concept. Yes, of course he's a partisan!! How the hell could you not be in this starkly obvious election? This election is hopefully not a premature referendum on the maturity of the proverbial hearts of men.

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...
