01.31.08 Heroin, Part II
Granddaughter : Yesterday, you said that heroin should only be used as a medical need. What are some of those needs?
GrandPa : Well, we’ve already covered sinus pressure. There’s collateral damage from cluster ‘bombs” (i’m being polite) compound fractures, hangnails, indigestion and my personal favorite, the loss of foreskin, if you should live some where other than “New York City!”
Granddaughter : What the hell does circumcision have to do with NYC (et al.)?
GrandPa : It’s the home of 9.11 and mankind learning that ignorance has a price. It’s a little more complicated than the simplicity projected by the GOP’s Klan based constituency. The Klan created a beast and then claims bestiality is a sin! If they had known that an automobile (or use of fossil fuels) could be like locusts and fire ants devouring the planet with global warming would they have been so intent in turning Detroit into a gluttonous superpower? Thanks to Ford’s bright idea, we may soon have fire ants at both poles. There will still be poles, but with different species. (“Polar Bears are a luxury mankind doesn’t need. Just because they begin life at conception, by becoming a fetus and are later born ‘with breath’ into the once cold artic circle is no reason to consider their dilemma worthy of our attention. We are called to be stewards of humans fetuses. We discriminate because we are created in the ‘very image of God’ by the very hands of ‘God.’ ” The cluless Dr. James, VJ Dobson, from ‘focused on religious ignorance and whips’ for obedient tradition he prefers to coin as tough love!) (That was fun! Let’s do it again. lol)
Granddaughter : “Loss of foreskin some where other than NYC,” why would you phrase it that way?
GrandPa : That little nugget that I found reading Christopher’s God Is Not Great : How Religion Poisons Everything … under the sun. The practice of a rabbi sucking the wound caused from the removal of the foreskin, by placing said penis into his mouth (Rabbi’s are always men, “Adam came first, it’s godly or God’s will!”) and inhaling without breath, is legal in NYC. While many baptist ministers might frown on this apparent lapse into ‘reprobate behavior’ it’s really okay because the Jews were chosen and must be overlooked for some their idiosyncrasies. Amen?
Haven’t even had my coffee yet! When you write like I do, day after day, you have to try and make it funny, lest you slip into depression and say ‘woe is me.’ There’s not a damn thing wrong with me. It’s them! It’s their god damned ’shadows from tall steeples.’ Pandorr’s Triangle doesn’t cast a shadow. It’s virtual and out side the boundaries of three dimensional space. “Zoom, zoom, zoom.” Hi Peter, it’s Bill again. I suppose i’m in another one of those manic stages! I didn’t take latin because I didn’t want to have to conjugate verbs in public. I see your name is also Seamus. That’s very close to semen. If I ever have a grandson, and I’ll not be disappointed if I do not, I shall endeavor to “demand” his middle name be “Seamus” though I know he will never be like you.
to be continued,

Ps. Can having your penis sucked at birth cause you to be gay? What about the circumcision of a young adult male entering puberty? If he gets an erection during the “ceremony” is it “God’s will” ? I’d love to hear the Pope answer that one! lol
Polar bears could be gone within our lifetime - please donate to the Sierra Club today.
Dear Bilbo,
Two weeks ago I wrote to tell you about a truly alarming situation - a delay in the decision to include the polar bear on the Endangered Species list - and asked you to take action.
Over 52,000 people signed our petition on behalf of the polar bear and sent a powerful message to the Bush Administration: We will not sit back and wait until the ice sheets melt and the last polar bear drowns before we address the devastating impact of global warming.
I wish I could tell you that our work is done, but the polar bear is still not listed and next week the Bush Administration will begin selling off oil exploration leases in Alaska’s Beaumont and Chukchi Seas - prime polar bear habitat, where an estimated one-tenth of the world’s polar bears live.
There is simply no time to lose and that’s why we need your support today. The last thing this animal needs is another threat to its survival. Because there is no proven method for cleaning up oil in the Arctic’s broken sea ice, an oil spill in this area would be catastrophic for polar bears.
