2944: Chased By.... I Don't Know What

Why do I feel like junk? Especially as relates to getting my projects done? With Nano, at least, I wager it has to do a little with wanting to have done high school correctly... waste of effort, tho, wallowing in my laments, but it's the most universally-interesting of my ideas because EVERYONE [who'd be reading this stuff] can identify with going ( Read more... )

My oft-quoted inspiration Rikki has a theory: ...but what are the reasons that advocates of California’s Proposition 8 give for amending California’s constitution, making same sex marriage illegal? Two factors: smugness and kooties.

... No matter how much these Proposition 8 supporters have ruined their own lives, their children turned into tweekers, babies out of wedlock or multiple divorces and STDs, they still believe they are somehow guaranteed to be higher up the legal ladder than gay Americans.

... Now, the kooties (and I think this is really the bigger of the two factors): it makes them feel icky, it makes their tummies go all wobbly and weird: the thought of explaining sex to their children. I can almost understand this one. It’s really interesting to me that those who say they are for small government, those conservatives to claim they want government out of their personal lives, also, conversely, absolutely want government to be in the sex lives of their fellow homosexual Americans. It’s also of great interest to me that these same conservatives like to make fun of the French, and yet, I'm told, in France no one cares who you’re sleeping with. I suppose this is because unlike American conservatives, most French people actually do believe in privacy. ... But for the sake of avoiding the tummy wobbles some people will go to extreme lengths. They will even ruin the lives of two complete strangers to get out of having to explain homosexuality to their children.

I know a lot of what he says is supposed to be eccentric, but I have a hard time disagreeing with him all the same =p
