It’s a Sad and Angry Day
I guess we can just say good-bye to abortion rights as we head deeper into pre-Nazi Germany (except without the German and the Polka music). I’m thinking of just driving into the “heart of America” and interviewing people to really understand what is going on in their brains, visiting churches, etc. No judgement or anything, just so I can understand the nature of the beast. Maybe I’ll also hand out copies of “The Mists of Avalon,” while I’m at it. All it takes is one frustrated white Christian whose tired baking cookies and listening to her husband moan about “moral values” to start the revolution. I know the Christian faith has helped many people, but historically it has been the demise of female power around the word. I mean, really, you don’t need to go deep into Christianity find words like “sin” associated with a primary female figure (in case you were born on Mars, that would be Eve). And there is also that whole “virgin Mary” thing that’s a little disconcerting… But anyway, politeness aside, have I mentioned that WE ARE FUCKED?!
It is my suspicion, that our friends living primarily in non-coastal states (i.e., ALL THE RED STATES) experience substantially more fear than us coastal people. Maybe it’s the ocean breeze. All I know is that Bush and Co. spun them so fast they couldn’t see straight (I’m giving them credit for some potential for clarity). They are SCARETY CATS! They were born into families who were afraid of….black people, women, homosexuals, the boogie man, whatever…And I know that because when people are afraid, everything must be placed in the right box (like, I go crazy when my lotions get out of order…I am a little bit scared). Men go here. Women go there. The Evil Ones go to some Arabic or third world country. But my forgiving analysis aside…GEEZ, WE ARE FUCKED!
Just for today, it’s a sad and angry day.
