This post has inspired me to work on being more supportive of the people that get out there and stand up to the mean neocon mutherfuckers even though it pretty much guarantees them heaps of abuse and emails chock full of painfully misspelled assumptions about their sexual practices. While I think that going on fox news won't neccesarily reach the oh my god I'm surrounded by 'moh-rons' liberals - I can't even watch the allegedly liberal CNN there's no way I could stomach Fox - his intentions appear to be sincere.
In any case it goes along with practice of not just calling the manager to complain but to compliment a good employee too. I've tried to cultivate this since those dreaded customer service phone job days. So maybe I should find a way to do this with my politics as well.
That said, I'm going to do two things this week - go to the kerry meetup and drag my hermit-like husband to a movie for the first time in four years.
While I'm not the biggest fan of Kerry the first step is to get that evil little poo throwing monkey out of the white house then we can start fixing some of the damage to our reputation with other countries and maybe, just maybe try to separate church doctrine from our states' laws?
While on the subject of religion Mac posted a veery interesting link which intimates that divorce rates are higher among judeo-christian couples. According to this report (which is missing out on a good number of variables imho) you're more likely to remain married if you are from the northeast US, are over 72, don't believe in god, and your odds increase considerably if you get married in a mass-marrying ceremony. Oookay
Here's what a spokesperson for "American Atheists" had to say: These findings confirm what I have been saying these last five years. Since Atheist ethics are of a higher calibre than religious morals, it stands to reason that our families would be dedicated more to each other than to some invisible monitor in the sky. With Atheism, women and men are equally responsible for a healthy marriage. There is no room in Atheist ethics for the type of 'submissive' nonsense preached by Baptists and other Christian and/or Jewish groups. Atheists reject, and rightly so, the primitive patriarchal attitudes so prevalent in many religions with respect to marriage. I'm sure there was a more diplomatic way of putting that.
