Sex and Starvation in South Carolina
A friend brought this Jon Stewart clip to my attention. Priceless. And so true.
You Yankee fellas think it's Alabama and Mississippi that are the center of racism, reactionary thinking, and fundamentalism. Not so. It's South Carolina, hands down. There's a reason they were the first state to secede from the Union. I know, I've lived there - very briefly, thank God.
Awwwww, I live in SC. In the Upstate area. The state is diverse, sure enough. The Low Country and people like Andre (everyone says he is gay, so lets not knock him too much) are not the norm.
Sort of like the time I lived in; Handley just down the hill from Arlington, Texas. And then there is the huge difference between Dallas and Ft. Worth.
Anyway, you get my drift. I will soon be "formerly from SC" but I felt the need to be protective.
Howdy Jon, appreciate you stopping by. But gay or not, *nobody* gets a pass from me for comparing poor kids to stray animals that need to be starved to death so they won't breed.
Bauer is the one who needs to be prevented from reproducing more arrogant aristocratic snobs like himself.
And yes, I knew some liberal people in SC and some gays; but I also encountered some hardcore antebellum attitudes that beat all I'd ever seen in other states. We have that too in small town TX but in SC it was like industrial strength. Sad. Scary.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.

My Story
click photograph to read
Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?
It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.
If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
