From this moment on I will assume that any white person displaying the Confederate Flag in any manner is doing so in support of Dylann Roof and everything he stood for and I will hold them in the same level of contempt as I do him.

Exceptions will be made for cute chicks.

It's all good.

One reason I asked for a philosophy category awhile back. Some things just don't belong in the government sphere:

Marriage - want to marry a turnip? I don't care.

Drugs - use them all, your funeral. Empty the prisons - graveyards cheaper.

Religion - worship the almighty Pop Tart, just don't tell me I have to or cut off my head when I eat one.

Marriage - you marry a turnip, no tax beaks - turnips don't work.

Drugs - legalize them all, let drug offenders out of prison - but I'm not paying for your rehab - you found the money to buy drugs, find the money to quit.

Religion - no tax breaks for any church - you don't believe enough to support the cause, tough sh*t.

It's not every day that I give a Republican any credit for anything positive but, this time, I ave to.

I'm for all of that!

Except Turnip marriage.

Something about that just doesn't seem right.

The action by the SC legislature is like a chocolate chip cookie made with fake chocolate, artificial vanilla, bad sugar and flour, and rancid butter.

The flag is down - and no matter the motivations of the legislature, I am sure it feels wonderful to those it offended the most.
