While “thinking outside the box” has become a tiresome establishment phrase, we in BUGS DO have a different window on the world. As was said in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a powerful mind can deduce the whole universe from a piece of fairy cake.
You cannot deduce the whole world by sticking with today’s news headlines.
From my discussion of “The Luv Cult” went on to make a short and concise piece explaining generational changes, the attitude of so-call “Christians” and race in the Old Testament.
I do not so much take issue with what he says as I EXPAND on it.
AFKAN is right that a fundamental change took place in the Counter- or, as he correctly describes it, the NON-Culture of the 1960s.
But, as I said, this Luv Cult is a JOINT effort of BOTH the anti-culture AND the Traditional Values crowd.
Until 1948 South Carolina was the last state in our Regrettable Union to forbid divorce FOR ANY REASON WHATEVER. This was in the name of Traditional Values. In our less gullible terms it said that, once a guy in a dress said the WORDS, the State sanctified them forever.
The latest poll shows 30% of Americans now agree with that old South Carolina view, and that is the lowest percentage EVER. Traditional Values people emphasize the absolute importance of the WORDS and the guy in the dress, which in my case also means the preacher or JP in the coat and tie, beside whose authority children’s genes mean nothing.
“Modern” types agree the children’s genes mean nothing, but they say all that mattes if the emotional state the parents are in at the time. Just as a powerful mind can deduce the universe from a piece of fairy cake, we can deduce the reason our society gets so SILLY from this joint view of “both sides” in our political-cultural debate from this Luv Cult-Maninadress bit.
There is an awfully lot to be considered in the decision to bring children into the world and “both sides” in our mainline debate absolutely refuse to deal with it for the silliest of reasons.
