Ravings of a Textual Deviant

Sometimes, I just want to tell Antonin Scalia to sit down, shut up, and read a good explanation of the separation of church and state. The problem with dragging religion into government is that not everyone has the same religion–or any religion. You don’t need a god to tell you the difference between right and wrong; a good kindergarten teacher can do that. Theoretically, at least, Americans are supposed to have the right to make their own decisions about their personal lives. My personal opinion is that whatever consenting adults want to do together is nobody’s business. I also think that it’s much better to make a decision based on what you think is right or wrong, rather than what a god told you to do or not do.

Besides, I’m tired of the White House and Congress taking a slash-and-burn approach to civil rights, and it’s about time that someone with real clout reminded them that privacy is important.
