Take what you read with a grain of salt.

The news has been crazy this past week. First...the Confederate flag. Yeah folks, it's part of "history". An embarrassing part, mind you (like much of our history). This thing does not belong in government buildings. The confederacy died a long time ago. If someone has one of these flags outside their home, well, there's nothing you can or should do about it. It might piss you off, but other people DO have a right to express themselves, so long as it brings no harm to others. Of course, *I'd* probably go passive-aggressive and think of something I could display that the other guy might not agree with, but...

As for the Dukes Of Hazard, leave that shit alone. It was TV. Lighten up. If you are going to get upset about that, then get rid of Archie Bunker, Good Times, etc. too.

Next, SCOTUS. Well. It seems that enough of the judges were part of this century and figured everyone has the right to be equally miserable under the law. Or maybe same-sex couples will show the het community how marriage is supposed to be. More of my "traditional" married friends have serious, bizarre drama in their lives, while my Girl couples and Guy couples have more open communication, and stronger bonds. And despite many religions "condemning" them, they are spiritual and sometimes religious people that attend services weekly.

Seriously, if something doesn't apply to me, I tune it out and go about my life. Why can't other people do that? I know some do, otherwise the SCOTUS decision would have been different, but not enough for the hate and intolerance to go away. Disagreeing with someone does not give you the right to be violent.

And lastly...most people know I do not follow a "traditional" spiritual path, and admittedly have an impossible time of believing in an invisible man in the sky. But if he *is* there...I ask that He please come and take care of the assholes that are burning churches in the south. The faithful go there for comfort and strength and some racist bastards are trying to shatter their communities, places of worship, their lives.
