quick thought... June 26th, 2005 - 8:14PM
I just flicked on Fox to watch the 8pm EST episode of The Simpsons, and a parental warning screen with a voice-over preluded the hilarity. The gist of the warning? Apparently the “There’s Something about Marrying” episode “deals with same-sex marriage and parental discretion is advised.” Quick, hide the kids — they might go gay. Boo!

Historically, the Christian Right thrives during times of fear. Needless to say, they are striking while the iron is hot. Don’t lose hope, eventually there is always a counter trend. The problem is if too much damage is done before then. We shall see, my friend!
So true… but the scariest thing about “fear” is that the ones who are the most afraid, are the most defensive about being “in control.” Simultaneously, they’re reactionary, short-sighted and have the ability to do irreparable harm to our rights as American citizens and to people around the world.
I’m tired of cycles.
