Sausages and General Conventions
“No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the legislature is in session.”
–Gideon J. Tucker
“To retain respect for sausages and laws, one must not watch them in
the making.”–Otto von Bismarck
The Episcopal Church of the United States of America’s General Convention is in session. Even more so than usual, it’s impossible to watch if I want to retain respect.
Apparantly, some Michigan
delegates decides to share some “tolerance for diversity” with a South
Carolina delegate on the way. God bless us all, isn’t it great
how we’re honoring the dignity of every man, woman, and transgendered
muddle, as long as they’re not “intolerant”?
This goes, for me, into the category of those who natter about racism (and make the claim that anyone who believes that Jesus means what He said might as well be a cross-burning sheet wearer), yet entirely disrespect the opinions of real, live Africans as “ignorant” and “superstitious”. (You listening, Bishop Spong?)
