Not Weird (So Why Is It Here?) (Ehh . . .)

Yo, Chuck here, and this doesn't fit, but I've been talking up a short essay I read yesterday on The New Yorker's website, and I'm so obsessed with it (intellectually and the quality of writing) that more than one person (OK, 3) said, "Chuck, you're so enthusiastic about it. Why don't you tell other people, like on your blog, what's that called, universal weird, what?" OK, have a look, take it or leave it, whatever, but I'm standing behind it as extra-extraordinarily well done and persuasive. Maybe you'll like it, too. (Maybe not. That's cool, too.) FYI. It's "Kim Davis Needs to Read the Bible Again." (She's the Kentucky clerk who knows exactly what God wants.) The New Yorker

Where someone's actions harm no one else then that is between that person and the creator. RobK, you and I will never agree on this issue so lets at least agree to disagree and leave it at that shall we? Same goes for you and me as well Stephen.

We need more Intelligent religious folk, and I mean the ones who do their research, and standing up for what she believes in. What about separation of church and state. I will not divulge into the specifics of what religious folk believe in, But I will defend their right to speak their opinion. BTW I am believer in buddhist philosophy, not religion.

It's very difficult sometimes to draw a sharp consistent line between right and wrong, and what should be legal and illegal, and, at the same time, give people freedom. Public indecency, drug use, and prostitution are but 3 tough issues.

Now for something entirely unfunny: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/21/world/asia/us-soldiers-told-to-ignore-afghan-allies-abuse-of-boys.html

Pity our soldiers in Afghanistan.
