Duck and cover.

I heard it on the news, read it in PBW and in financial guru Andrew Tobias daily column** . . honestly, guys like Allen really truly scares the bejeebers out of me.

. . . .in book after book, Allen reads what he calls the "homosexual agenda.. . ."It's not healthy for America, it doesn't fit what we stand for," says Allen. "And they will do whatever it takes to reach their goal."

Rob Preece in his blog recently talked about the cultural divide. Allen is an example of a man from another planet as far as I'm concerned. I never ever want to live in his world. Heck, I don't even want to visit it.

-----

More news, completely unrelated, but not entirely off-topic because it addresses fear -- this time a personal fear. I'm afraid I'm losing my marbles.

See, I write ten double-spaced pages a day. That's WHAT I DO. The last couple of weeks I've been working my damn hoofies to the bone and only managing seven or eight pages. Ack! Turns out I've been using a template for my new publisher and they have about 468 words per page. Not 250. Oh. It took more than a week to figure this out. Is there a stupidity agenda out there? Cause I clearly have signed up to receive it.

**From Tobias's Column

"An African-American venture capitalist writes: “Yesterday in Alabama, State representative George Allen introduced a bill banning all books in public schools and public libraries that were written by gays or lesbians.  He had a complete list with writers like Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, and YOU****!!!!!!  On the same day, Jeb Bush signed into law in the State of Florida a bill that allows people to shoot to death anyone they feel is threatening them with serious bodily harm.  For example, people like me – black men represent over 60% of all people killed with guns during a homicide.”

****Tobias is gay. As you read his theories about a balanced stock/bond portfolio and index funds, you're bound to feel the contagion of his gayness -- or maybe an understanding of the dreaded Homosexual Agenda -- creeping into your system. Watch yerself. You're going to be out hanging out by the garbage cans with those erotica readers annnnny minute now.

<<"I don't look at it as censorship," says State Representative Gerald Allen. "I look at it as protecting the hearts and souls and minds of our children.">>

Wow. I think my potty mouth has failed me on this one. I can't think of words foul enough to cuss this motherfucker out.

I actually feel sick to my stomach.

:o I'm too fingerless to write anything. Well, except to say that this saddens me: 'FBI statistics, according to CBS, show that "anti-gay, lesbian or bisexual sentiments are the third most likely motivation for hate crimes, behind religion and race."'

I'm with Candy, it makes me sick to think about shit like this. I can't even wrap my mind around the fact that some people actually believe that crap.

The whole words per page thing threw me, too, Kate. I wrote a scene and then for hours ran around screaming "How can my entire scene be one and a half pages?" Umm...because there's a gazillion words per page. :)

(I'm not clicking on any other links. My blood pressure can't take any more outrage this week.)

Posted by Kate (UK):

Reading more and more of these sentiments just scares the ever-living crap out of me.

It seems to me that our society is being dragged closer and closer to those described as science fiction in such books as 1984 and Farenheit 451.

One of my favourite authors is Robert Heinlin (sp?) and although his novels betrayed some very chauvanistic attitudes, one of his series is based on a group of (open-minded) people who ended up fleeing earth to form a new society as the old one broke down into dictatorship and anarchy. It frightens me to think that that could happen with the difference that we have nowhere to run to yet.

Sorry if that all seems a little overdramatic, sometimes my mind gets like that.:-?

In Texas, the Repuplican dominated house is trying to pass a law to take foster children away from gay parents, and prevent gay parents from adopting children. This is truly tragic. It would be the only state in the USA to pass such a law.

Oh goodness. And I thought my state was bad for trying to ban gay foster parents. Of course this is Texas. I love where I live but sometimes I am ashamed of the people here who believe God truly wants them to do crap like that. One reason I don't really go to church anymore.

Oh, interesting tidbit-in Texas and I think Georgia, it's illegal to sell sex toys. A woman near Dallas was arrested for having a passion party.

Thank heavens for the "editor's note" that this one died. It's frightning, truly and deeply frightning to think that people like the representative think they have the right to determine what other people can and can't read. And what a sad comment that a country that was founded on the basis of freedom of speech and religion produces this type of character.

leftie, my freind, I'm afraid that texas would only be the first state to pass such a law, I would be pleased as punch if it turned out to be the only (avoiding texas already)
