Happy Earth Day (Beware the Carnage)


Stupidity, thy name is Edward Hudgins:
"Most individuals who celebrate Earth Day by cleaning up trash beside the road no doubt mean well. But ... the premises behind the eco-extremists are anti-human and, if acted on consistently, would lead to worse carnage than that wrought by communists. On Earth Day we should reflect not on the planet but on the inhabitants who can make it of value."
I should have something to end this here, but all I can think to say is, "Huh?"

    So...wait. We bring carnage upon ourselves because we shift our focus to tending the delicate ecosystems we inhabit instead of the inhabitants? After reading Hudgins article this makes perfect sense: everything is worthless unless it's exploitable or a direct benefit to human needs. Who wants to build a rocket to blow up Mars? I'm sure we could find some profitable raw materials, or the very least make room for an interstellar super-highway to the casinos on Jupiter.

    Diane,
    In a family of tall people I'm considered short. I'm about 5 ft 3 or 5 ft 4 on a good day. My 12 - year -old is almost taller than I am.

    Wow...rainlillie is short? OK, seriously, HUH? Yeah, picking up trash is pretty extreme. Planting a tree is doggone RADICAL. Frickin' Socialist Commies.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Just Do It

Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far. This DADT thing, I wouldn't think, should be such a big ordeal to get over and done with in short order. Even military p

Hung on the Cross

So what, I'm not very mature for my age. I don't care, I'm easily amused because of it, and I enjoy being amused. Like this picture of a crucifix which was hoisted a couple of months ago above the main altar at the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic church in Oklahoma: I can come up with lots of hilariously inappropriate captions here, some that even I am embarrassed to admit thinking up, despite my unabashed crudity. I would share but probably everyone else is too sophisticated to see the humor. Plus, I really don't want to go to Hell. I'm guessing that there are an awful lot of Okie parishioners down there at the church where this is hung for real, who I reckon wouldn't appreciate my sense of humor about it, either. They are, in general, hugely offended by it instead, because they see nothing funny whatsoever about displaying Jesus' ginormous penis in church, not in the least bit! Seems as though this has caused quite a "deep divide" among members o
