Another thing that's really wrong in this country. How could something so unconstitutional even get passed in the first place?




Oh, that's right. 'Cause human beings can be prejudiced assholes. I keep forgetting that.

The answer to your question undoubtedly lies in the same place as the answer to how Bush got into the White House when most of the freaking country voted for someone else, how a war was started that was so unsupported by the population, and why Clinton was impeached for a blow job, but Bush has consistently lied and totally fucked up the country and no one seems to care.

I can't remember what language it's in (maybe Farsi, or Pushtu or something), but there is a curse that says "May you live in interesting times." That's what we're in now. Very interesting.

I believe it's chinese, actually.

And if by interesting you mean: "interesting how this is entirely similar to the feeling of being anally raped by a bull elephant," then I'm in total agreement.

I remember reading about someone's research into that particular saying, and it seems that, although one can find references to this "chinese curse" throughout most of the 20th century in the US, there's absolutely no sign of it in actual Chinese literature... and no solid indication of where it came from. The researcher found some similarity to old Scottish sayings, though...

Of course, wherever it came from, even if it was made up in the early 20th century to sound wise and inscrutable (which seems likely), it's still a good saying. :)

I guess the big question is whether or not we should be surprised. I mean, it is Virginia, after all. Progressive for them would be passing a bill outlawing sodomizing blood relatives.
