Sorry, another internet outage. It's an outrage.
I never liked that hate the sin, love the sinner phrase. I guess it's
okay if the sinner is a bank robber or a hooker or something, but if
they are gay, or like a hunter, they don't necessarily see what they are
doing as a sin, and doing it is kind of who they are, and so if they
continue to do it, and all you can do is try to stop them from doing it,
it doesn't sound much like love to me.
I don't know that anybody is calling gayness normal. Estimates vary,
let's say 5 percent, and google confirms this at about 4 percent. So
that's a little more than rare, but still probably unusual. Well normal
has a mathematical meaning, but it also has another meaning sort of as
not unhealthy. How's my baby, Doc. Oh he's normal. I guess in the
total world population probably less than four percent are blonde, but
we don't think of blondes as abnormal.
So what, you think public opinion should never change, it should always
be, oh I guess the way it was when you were a lad, go a little before
that and there is nothing wrong with slavery, and a little before that
and there is nothing wrong with torching witches, and go way back and
the Christians are ruining the empire and the lions are hungry. And why
are we even talking about public opinion? When were you ever a fan of
public opinion? The only time you like it is when it agrees with
something you believe, and anymore that isn't very often.
And again you are believing that there is some group, Them, I believe is
the word we decided on, that is controlling everything. If everybody
believed something at one time and now they believe something else, you
think it must be because They decided They want them to. Rubbish.
How about this theory: We are all have a vote, and when it comes to an
issue, we need to think about it. We can't just say, this is the way we
think and there is no reasoning about it. What if a bunch of us got
together and we all hated hunting, and it turns out there were 51
percent of us, and we all wanted to pass a law making deer hunting
illegal, and one of our issues was that deer were being hunted to
extinction. And you would want to tell us that there are plenty of deer
and no way were those two a year in Beaglesonia going to make them
extinct, and we said, we don't care what you have to say, we already
believe what we are going to believe and we don't intend to ever change
that, so give up old Betsy Beaglesonian Boy, and by the way, here is a
gay dog we want you to marry.
But there is something to what you say about disapproval. Logically I
think most hunting is just fine. People enjoy it, it keeps them from
doing drugs and joining gangs. Nowadays whenever you are doing
something, skateboarding or collecting stamps, or blogging, that doesn't
involve doing drugs and joining gangs, Society smiles. Anyway no harm
in some good old boys roaming in their orange vests, putting a piece of
meat on the table.
But you know, deep down I don't approve. It's at that moment when the
target is in the site and the trigger is pulled. One minute Bambi is
happily munching vegetation in a sylvan glade, and the next thing his
whole life is gone, and what does Elmer get out of it but a mess of meat
which he could just as easily have gotten by driving down to the
Jewel. Of course all that meat at the Jewel, somebody pulled a trigger
on it, well pushed a button, something, and isn't that an Italian beef
in your hand City Boy? Well yes it is.
So I don't know, it's not logical. But still I disapprove. Why would
somebody enjoy reducing that magnificent beast to a pile of meat? On
the other hand isn't that sandwich tasty? I can give it the logical
argument, and I can see no error in my logic, but still I disapprove.
Does this describe the way you feel about the gays?
But I recognize that it's illogical, and so should a vote come before me
on whether or not to allow hunters to marry, I would have to vote to
allow it, whether it be their hypothetical wives or their gay dogs.
