OPINION
Marriage
protectors off target
I've been following the
gay marriage issue since November. If you're going to discriminate against
me, don't beat around the bush. At least have the guts to tell me what
you really mean. Don't try to hide behind phrases like "protecting the
sanctity of marriage" or "traditional family values," because I can see
right through it.
Priests'
forced celibacy not natural
This week another complaint
of sexual harassment was filed against a Catholic priest in New York. I
know ? it's not really news. Unfortunate-ly, we've become much too jaded
to these reports to even raise an eyebrow anymore.
Highway
habits can be revealing
As you pass Lot 10, you
may notice a traffic light at no apparent intersection. You probably notice
it a lot more now that it actually turns red on its own. Back in the day,
the light would only change at pedestrians' will. You had trouble crossing
the street, no cars paid attention, and usually speeded up at the sight
of your presence on the sidewalk. So you pushed a big red button. The light
was unusually slow, and it would turn red after the traffic coincidentally
cleared the way. It still served as an entertaining toy for pedestrians
to annoy cars that drove by too fast.
