This guy from Fort Wayne, Indiana gives us a few clues. He’s not a total idiot. He is capable of questioning the right wing dogma he has been fed, but the dogma is deeply ingrained. The example I quote below shows him just getting started. He goes on to question the foundations of the crap that has been shoved into his brain from right wing talk radio or wherever the hell else he gets it, but still, he mindlessly babbles about hippy ass liberal hollywood douchebags. Someone should tell these people that the divorce rates are higher in red state hell holes than the more civilized parts of the country. But nevertheless, read him, see what he has to say, he speaks for multitudes, feel his pain.
So I'm listening to Toby Keith and Puddle of Mudd and it leads me to wonder about the status of marriage in this country today. Every song you hear is about breaking up. Every time you turn on the news some hippy ass liberal hollywood douchebag is leaving his wife for some other flea riddled liberal hollywood whore. The divorce rate in this country hovers around 60%. They are even considering letting people of the same sex get married. Does the "Sacred" vow of marriage really mean anything in todays society? Do we, as a collective people, still understand the brevity and meaning of the terms of marriage. What are we telling our children?? When well over half of our marriages end in divorce we are telling our children that it is perfectly acceptable to make long term commitments and then blow them right out the window the first time a yoga instructor with a six pack and a tan walks by. This isnt meant to condemn one sex or the other, or any individual because I am fully aware that none of us are perfect and I could very easily be one of the 60% (mostly because i'm a raging asshole and anyway that knows me will tell you that it is almost unfathomable that A) I found a women to marry me and B) that after two years shes still here.) I simply mean to point out the current status of marriage and also to bring to light one of histories great lies.
