Apocalypse Sacramento


Apocalypse Sacramento

For those of you who don't listen to talk radio, you might not be aware that California is going to be the next spot for an apocalyptic natural disaster. The reasoning for this seems to be that THE ATHEIST AMERICA-HATING LIBERALS ARE DESTROYING THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE AND OPENING THE DOOR TO POLYGAMY, GROUP MARRIAGE AND BESTIALLITY BY SANCTIONING THE ABOMINATION OF GAY MARRIAGE, and GOD IS GOING TO SMITE THE UNBELIEVERS LIKE HE DID IN SRI LANKA AND NEW ORLEANS. Or something like that. But louder. I've been reading about AB 849 in the paper and listening to the talking-heads discuss the pro's and con's of gay marriage and I can't even begin to see how a couple of dudes or chicks getting married will effect me in the slightest, which is my barometer for whether something is a "good thing", a "bad thing", or a "couldn't give a rat's ass less thing". Could be a little simplistic (and selfish), but if something benefits me, it's a "good thing". If something causes me harm, discomfort or annoyance, it's a "bad thing". If something is going to have no impact on my life in any way, shape or form, that would fall under the category of "couldn't give a rat's ass less thing", which is where I currently see gay marriage. I'm not gay, have no plans on becoming gay, and am already happily married. Even if this whole thing is a slippery-slope and ends up with polygymy being legal, I still don't see how that's going to effect me. I had enough trouble finding one woman to marry me without having to worry about finding another one willling to put up with my "eccentricities", i.e., "crap". Anyway, I would think that all of these people protesting outside the Capitol would be glad that these gay couples could be getting married. According to one sign I saw, "queers and fornicators" aren't going to heaven, so there should be more room for these bigots and their bull-horns. Of course they'll all be dressing like crap and have no idea what color drapes would match best with their puce wallpaper, but that's a price they seem willing to pay. Anyway, I hope this isn't the last post I am able to write before God sends a lightning bolt through the head of every registered Democrat in California. I have so much more to say.
