[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Coming on the heels of Prop 8, it feels almost like an attack.
I totally get that.
Total hot button issue for me. Sorry.
I also totally get that. I too will step away from the conversation.

Not much to contribute, just saying hi. It's a work day today, which means grading my finals and finalizing my grades. (Seriously. Not just for the funny wordplay.) And since I give short-answer tests rather than multiple choice (why, god, why do I do that?), I may be in here from time to time when I get frustrated. I've graded all the really right/really wrong answers and now I have to do the "eh... sort of, but you missed the point" ones.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I, personally, think that Rick Warren is a bigoted troll who doesn't have the slightest understanding of what God is really about, and I hate that he's such a big part of the inauguration.
But I also understand *why* he is.
Oh I understand too, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise, but that doesn't mean I still don't think it's wrong.
The difference being that Warren is a hate-monger and Robinson is not.
I think it's important to note that the words Giving someone who preaches hate and bigotry were taken out of my original post. Some of the sense of Wrong I feel is because Obama's inclusion of everyone involves someone who so clearly doesn't believe in that inclusiveness. As GC points out, the same can't be said of Robinson.

Now tagless for your comfort.
How much do I love my library? It sends me a notice BEFORE a book is overdue! I have four more days to finish the book and get it back in. Love.
Speaking of, it's Wordy Shipmates which has really put into perspective the religion of fear. It's also hella funny.

I hope my use of the term "bigoted troll" makes it clear that I don't like Warren's inclusion, either.

I got that feeling, yes.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Seriously? That's what you think I meant?
It was far more irony than serious. Sorry I didn't think to plainly tag it.

Cool. I get twitchy when people quote me in order to say "Yo, this bit here? I DON'T believe it!"
It gets harder and harder to have conversations -- NOT here, okay? -- where I can say "Um, it's politics. I don't like it, but I understand why he did it," without people telling me that *I'm* a bigot and other horrifying things.
