God, I love Utah. Who doesn't love the concept of multiple wives (mostly unattractive ones), shitty booze, and criminal miscarriages? Just think of all the times that your wife or girlfriend couldn't make you a sandwich and have sex with you at the same time! And even more, think of all the stupid women who didn't get enough sleep or who couldn't afford proper medical care that we're going to put in jail! They're going to learn their lesson, aren't they?
There are some men out there that will avoid the concept of marriage until they die. They see no need to tie themselves down with that kind of commitment. There are also men that believe marriage is an outdated ritual that is only justified by the legal or financial benefits. And there are yet again others that believe that when the time is right, you just know that's what you want. Regardless of your religious views on marriage, I'd like to know who has the financial and emotional resources to participate in any kind of polygamy? I imagine this sort of behavior to be much like having a hoard of children. How much money do you have to make to keep multiple spouses happy or at least healthy and how can any person stretch themselves that thin? You'd have to either make lots of money yourself or split the finances between each member. And I would think you would have to have at least one submissive spouse. Or at least no more than one spouse that is like me.
Also, shitty booze. No one really likes shitty booze, what's the point? I'm not even just talking about the alcohol content. I'm talking about the fact that this stuff tastes like shit.
The real ringer with Utah right now is the criminal miscarriages though. Who the hell does that? You are going to jail for murder because you are stressed out that the house you rent is going into foreclosure and you found out today that you must leave by tomorrow, which killed your unborn child. Great job Utah, gotta love it. Since when is the natural response of the body when the parent is physically unfit to be a parent illegal? I understand if you're doing crack and you have a miscarriage, but come on Utah! This guilty until proven innocent crap is just making you seem even stupider. The rest of the United States thinks you were dropped on your head as an infant. We can't seem to explain or justify any more of your bat shit craziness. You're giving Florida a run for it's money now, and that is something we never thought would happen.
Can you just get some common sense separate your religion from your basic government for a minute? I understand that the judicial branch recognizes God, but when you start adding religion into your government you run the risk of discriminating against other religions. And we don't play that shit here.
Love, Polly.

September 17, 2010: If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer."
[Title quote attributed to Ryan Tyler]
As I was talking to a local head shrinker, I mean, bartender, our talk segwayed into the world of gay marriage, gay rights, and all other things gay. I'll be putting down my piece on this today.
Gay marriage: I believe that homosexual couples have the same right as a heterosexual couple to marry. Their sexuality should never come in the way of the financial and emotional privileges that a marriage can bring to a couple. All this bullshit about legalizing gay marriage raising the divorce rate is just that, bullshit. All couples who marry now have the possibility of joining that statistic, and it's no fair to disclude them because we don't want to see that statistic rise. The truth is the divorce rate is rising because couples now don't feel the same shame of divorce that they did forty years ago. Then, divorce was unacceptable. It led to women who had never worked before having to join the work force with no true skills or marketable assets working for minimum wage, if that, to support themselves and their children. Now, we have powerful women doing powerful things. We are finding a more stable gender ignorant working world. Albiet, women are not exactly equal as men, but they are capable of doing so much more for themselves if they have the right motivation. However, I understand the right of religious ceremonies being being subject to that decision. It is fully within the power of any religious body to deny their particular marriage ceremony to homosexual couples. I will only support the right of gay marriage as a legal and financial event, not as a religious event. I cannot force the church to turn it's back on it's founding principles. What I ask from the church is acceptance into the world, to accept that gays are people, too. To keep their religion to themselves, instead of forcing it on the world.
Gay religion: If gays want to make their own religious system, more power to you. I can't force all religions to accept you. But there are religions for EVERYTHING. There is a church for body modification! Make a church for gays! If you don't like their rules, make your own. It's okay to do that, and no one can fault you for it. There is a church for marijuana users! All of these churches may seem to be "fake" churches, but they have a moral code, a system of beliefs, and that makes them real religions to me. If you want to make your own church so you can have a religious wedding, alright. There you go, but don't force other religions to take back fundamental beliefs. Accept thier beliefs and respect them, and you'll teach them to respect yours.
Gay rights: If people are equal and legally have equal rights, and gays are people, too, it follows that gays are equal and legally have equal rights. /END.

September 16, 2010: Dumpster babies, who doesn't love a dumpster baby?
I'm in a mood this week, bear with me. I've been reading TONS of political chatter lately and sorting through some issues that I've been falling behind on. (Life gets in the way of EVERYTHING, see?)
One fight I'm getting pretty tired of is the fight about legalizing abortion. Some say that it's a woman's right to make that decision and others still will say it's murder. (I'm a swing voter, remember?) Who are we to decide when life begins? Are you REALLY telling me that every female and male that have reached puberty and are capable of having children should if the event arises, America? I would hope not. More sixteen year olds having children is not my cup of tea. More people who are incapable of being financially secure that probably share the Greek sense of where the government can shove their income tax? I don't think so. I believe in taxes, and I believe in raising them. I believe that abortion should be OUR right, not as mothers or wifes, but as RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE who KNOW deep down inside that this world is NOT a place for a newborn. That in our own way, we are RESPECTING life by not subjecting it to this painful time of need and inability to support it. Abortion and adoption are two of the most emotionally painful aspects of child bearing. Who are we to judge them? Why are we judging them? Because we think that they should believe what we believe? We're all entitled to our right to liberty, liberty of our life and our thoughts. Or is it because the Bible or other holy books disdain abortion? I think you should keep your religion out of my uterus, if you want it in yours so be it. I understand where people say that life begins at conception, and I'll ask you this. What do you call a microscopic cell that takes nutrients from another organism? It's called a parasite, and until we stop deworming our cats and dogs, I'll give the right to abortion a thumbs up. And don't tell me it's different, that is life, too. Let's discuss this, comments will be open like always. I want to know what you think.
