I Know Not What I Do…
Forgive me readers, for I have ranted…
It’s come to my attention that my last post might have possibly come across as anti-religious. I didn’t intend for it to take that tone, but sometimes it takes the eyes of a more critical reader to wake me up to what I’m actually saying, versus what I think I’m saying.
In this particular instance, it was the critical eyes of Brittany that shot mind lasers at me after reading my last entry. I’ve no wish to incur her wrath, although she wasn’t particularly angry. She just thought I was proclaiming everyone who believes in the Bible to be stupid, inbred morons.

Seriously, the amount of blatant racism on display is staggering, and the fact that most of it is couched in a pseudo understanding of the political process and gross oversimplifications of the geopolitical stage doesn’t really hide what the comments are really about. To white folks, at least in the predictable South, there are few things more terrifying than a black man with power. The only thing that truly concerns me has to do with white flight and escalation. I know a good many canuks, and I promise you – Canada doesn’t want them. That leaves Mexico which, personally, I’m rooting for. Read More
