Boring useless political entry

As you can tell, I haven't been very good at keeping this blog up. Work's been busy and all my creative juices are flowing into a harmless email flirtation that requires me to maintain a steady stream of wit. However, I would like to take a quick moment to express to you how much I FUCKING HATE SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES.

Okay, that's a bit extreme. Actually, they're usually very nice people in person: good neighbors, friendly at work, trustworthy. Still, I really can't fathom their incredible hatred of gays.

I bring this up because it seems that there are now only two issues that get this segment of the population aroused: abortion and homosexuality. I can respect being against abortion. In fact, I sit the fence myself on the issue, and swing back and forth between the "pro-choice" and "pro-life" poles depending on my mood. Frankly, I think some people aren't incensed enough about abortion. If you truly think that it is murder, if that's what you really believe, then complacency with our current system is like, well, those guys who went along with slavery or the holocaust.

But I really don't understand why anyone would get so upset over homosexuality. I mean that literally; it makes no sense. You may think it's gross...hell, I find it a little bit icky. I don't want to see two dudes making out on the street. But I also don't want to see those ugly hairless dogs either, but I don't get offended when someone walks one in the park. Obviously there will always be people who think with their guts rather than their brains, but it's amazing that there are enough of them to form a mass movement.

None of this is new, of course; it's all been said a million times. I just had to get it off my chest following a very weird discussion at work. Sorry about that and I promise to return to cute pictures of birds soon.
