Here's What I Hope

I hope the next time that any legislator, anyone in government at all really, the next time someone in a position of power seeks to foist upon us some rule or law to protect our morality, the next time someone wants to talk about the sanctity of marriage, or tell us what we can or cannot say on TV or in a song, the next time someone drafts a report about how video games are corrupting our youth, the very next time someone suggests that we ought to still not be able to buy beer on Sunday or at the grocery store, the next time that happens I just hope with all of my being that those who are listening remember that the person that drafted that rule, or law, or hateful speech, that person who appeared at some time to be the best and the brightest, that person, that on their computer at the same time as that pure as driven snow composition there was just as likely as not another window in which they were chatting with an underage page and explaining how they would really like to get in their pants.

Government really never had any moral authority, perhaps for a few days people might actually think that is a good thing.

But probably not. We Americans have an unbelievable capacity for denial.

I hereby swear that I was in fact wearing pants while composing this post and that no other windows were open concurrently.
