I was walking my dogs last night when a thought occurred to me about how much I hate suburbia. I mean the normalcy of it all. How everyone is rewarded for being "normal". Everyone is expected to be the same and have the same values and wants as everyone else. Conservatives hate the equivalences that the political correct have pushed upon us. The idea that we are all equal and that there are no "losers" we are ALL winners sickens those on the right, and me too. Yet the conservatives response is that we all should be "normal" whatever that means. I look around and these are the values I see: BMW's SUV 2.5 Kids He plays golf and loves Football, she does Mary Kay and stays home with the kids Bumper sticker to remind the world that they are proud of the 'honor roll' children (Again do you really need to advertise your pride in your child? Why don't these people take the time to tell and show their children their pride in them. Parenting via bumper stickers) 45 inch waist and that's just her Oh, and lets not forget the MBA degree Now, these are all nice values (I guess), but what if I don't like golf? Or perhaps I have too much respect for my wife that I love the fact that she works and is a partner more that just a spouse? Well then you are not being 'normal'. Fuck normalcy! That's my rant for now.
