BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

'Don't ask, don't tell' repealed: What's next?

'Don't ask, don't tell' repealed: What's next?: "The sermons and teachings of the chaplain could not be restricted, unless he publicly maligned military leaders, the report said. The applicant who shares his sexual orientation should be handled like any other recruit. Commanders should remind the joking troops that discrimination or harassment against gay colleagues is inappropriate, but could grant a service member's request not to shower among them."




Jesus Fucking Christ.  If that sensitive, do we really want that as a soldier.  Can you not use your imagination and see how it overlaps the incidents where the behavior embarrass our country. 




Another way to look at the end of DADT, being that we are involved in two wars.  If a  group of straight men can rape a woman whether any kissing or not;  doesn't it make a soldier not able to shower nude within view of a gay man, an insult to even our women soldiers if not dishonorably discharged immediately for even asking. 

More likey to be called Sweethart, hear cat calls, ass grabbed, etc.,  by his straight peers than queers volunteering risking having their heads blown off.

"One thing I like about the Digital age: having the dictionary at my fingertips, how easy it is to look up unfamiliar words as I go along reading."
