News at Netscape:
Another piece of crap finding by the Bishops of the Catholic church regarding pedophile priests...
"The findings are sure to fuel debate among Catholics on two
controversial issues: whether the church should try to screen out gay priests and whether celibacy for clergy should be optional.
The board said celibacy was not a cause of the scandal, but that the celibacy requirement may have attracted candidates for the priesthood who were seeking an escape from their sexual problems.
The board came to no direct conclusions about whether gays
should be ordained. However, it noted that ``any evaluation of the causes and context of the current crisis must be cognizant of the fact that more than 80 percent of the abuse at issue was of a homosexual nature.''"They are NOT homosexual in nature, they are PEDOPHILIC in nature!!! If they were homosexual, they would be having sex with adult males!!! They are having sex with CHILDREN!!!!! That is a SICKNESS!!! A mental ILLNESS!!!! Not a mutual attraction between two consenting adults!!! IT'S CHILD MOLESTATION USING THE POWER OF THE PRIESTHOOD TO EXTORT SEX FROM 10 YEAR OLDS!!!!!!!
The Catholic Church sucks too.

More conservative hypocracy.....This statement was made by a Republican Senator regarding a proposed amendment to require gun locks on all handguns sold.
"...Craig argued it would be an intrusion of the federal government
into people's private homes.
``For the first time, the long arm of government will reach into
the private place and suggest to the average American how they will
store an object in that private place,'' he said."
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWHY IS IT AN UNWARRENTED INTRUSION TO REQUIRE A GUNLOCK SO YOUR CHILD DOESN'T SHOOT HIMSELF BUT A GREAT IDEA TO TELL THEM WHO THEY CAN AND CAN'T MARRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POLITICIANS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GAD that kind of thing chesses me off.

I am going to take a break from being pissed for a little bit. Today I am scared. I am scared for everyone who is non-christian in this country. Those images above represent a time in history when the christians thought it was the will of god to burn people at the stake for being witches. And they took it upon themselves to do so and did it very efficiently, I might add. Before that it was the Spanish Inquisition and the Jesuits and their Convert-or-Die missions to heathen countries like South and Central America and Japan.
Now it's legislation. Starting to write christian values and dogma into the constitution of the united states. It starts with a judge and a statue of the 10 commandments in a courthouse and now it has gone as far as the president and defining marriage for the whole nation. What's next? When the legality of discrimination based on belief is carved into the stone of our constitution where will we of the minority go for redress? Who will speak for us when we are no longer allowed to speak for oureselves? When it is not only socially acceptable but legal to say, "You don't believe as we do, so you have no rights."
With Mel's movie coming out, I watch on the news the eyes of the people leaving the theater. I see there the righteous justification for their belief that they are the "chosen" of god. That god has given them entitlement to everything because they believe in the words in the bible. I see the same zealous fire I see in the eyes of the Muslim extremists who strap dynomite to their chests and board public transportation or ram trucks full of C4 into public markets.
So today, I'm afraid. While we may never be burned at the stake again literally, there are social and cultural fires being kindled right now that we as a minority have no control over. And it scares me.

So splain this one to me. I was thinking about this as I was driving out to get my lunch. (frozen pizza and a coke, in case you're interested) If this whole thing is about protecting the sanctity of marriage, where is the constitutional amendment banning adultry and spousal abuse? I would think that these would be much more of a threat to marriage and the american family than two people who love each other and want to get married and have kids.
Donchya think?

Chicago Mayor Daley on the "Gay Marriage thing"The apocolypse must be near when I agree with a Daley about anything!!!!! I'm really starting to get a bit freaked out. ;oD
"They're your doctors, your lawyers, your journalists, your politicians," the mayor said. "They're someone's son or daughter. They're someone's mother or father. . . . I've seen people of the same sex adopt children, have families. [They're] great parents.
"Some people have a difference of opinion -- that only a man and a woman can get married. But in the long run, we have to understand what they're saying. They love each other just as much as anyone else.''
A devout Catholic, Daley scoffed at the suggestion that gay marriage would somehow undermine the institution of marriage between a man and a woman.
"Marriage has been undermined by divorce, so don't tell me about marriage. You're not going to lecture me about marriage. People should look at their own life and look in their own mirror. Marriage has been undermined for a number of years if you look at the facts and figures on it. Don't blame the gay and lesbian, transgender and transsexual community. Please don't blame them for it," he said."

CNN.com - Bush calls for same-sex marriage-ban amendment - Feb. 24, 2004Well, it appears that the Secret Service has actually managed to locate GW's spine and he came out and said it.
So now all of the family-hating bigots are going to crawl out of the woodwork shouting their support for this abuse of American citizens and their rights.
Now remind me again. Aren't conservatives and republicans the ones who are all for keeping the government out of people's business? Call me crazy but this seems to be about as "in" people's business as you can get!!!! If ANYTHING in this whole scenario could be considered an abomination it has to be the government telling two consenting adults who they can or can't marry.
What is this the land of the free-as-long-as-you-live-like-we-tell-you-to?
Good lord and lady. If this isn't deja vu or what. I have had this exact same regulation argument with conservatives before. Except I was on the other side. I think I'm getting a rash.
