Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

There are times this country drives me insane. Lately, it's nearly every day with the fire storm around gay marriage. What's the big deal, anyway?

Orson Scott Card spoke up on the issue:

https://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/2004-02-15-1.html

It's really sad. He's one of the leading writers of Sci Fi, yet he's as close minded as the President.

In part of his essay, he says that marriage is in fact open to all. There is nothing stopping a gay man from marrying a woman, and nothing stopping a lesbian from marrying a man.

Uhm....Sorry, but I am not repressing my sexuality for anyone. It's really not a pretty sight.

AND WHO THE $#@% does he think he is, telling us we can get married, but to someone of the opposite sex?

He missed the point entirely. It's about EQUALITY. Our constitution was supposed to guarantee equality. He doesn't think it's the court's place to put laws in place to protect minorities.

UHM, HELLLOOO?? What happened during the Civil Rights movement? It initially took the courts to pass laws to INITIATE legislation. It is the COURTS' job to protect minorities from discrimination.

He touts family values and morals...based on faith and religion, I presume.

The entire idea of Separation of Church and State went out the window with the Gay Marriage fire storm. I don't get it. This country is founded on Freedom of Religion, yet the main argument against Gay marriage revolves around religious believes and religious "sanctity" of marriage.

OK...so what about those of us who don't consider ourselves Christians? Is the so called Moral right going to force their beliefs upon us? That's what it looks like from where I sit.

*ahems* Sorry...but this entire issue gets my blood pressure up quite a bit. It's weird sitting on the edge of becoming a second class citizen. My "President" has put my sexuality before my nationality with his call for an amendment to the constitution.

I have a feeling he may have shot himself in the foot, politically with this one...and I hope so. I'm ready for him to go.

*shivers* You know? The thought of river/lake sports when the temperature is close to 0 degrees C isn't....all that appealing.
