I was resolved to not do any Catholic bashing and just feel sad and sympathetic towards them for at least a week after the death of the pope, but they had to go and do something utterly ridiculous. A prominent Catholic group in Michigan pushed a bill into the legislature that just passed in the Republican-dominated House and is now heading for the also Republican dominated Senate. The bill allows medical professionals to refuse medical care to homosexuals if they think gayness is morally or ethically wrong. That is the stupidest idea I've ever heard, and ti make me angry. I know all Catholics are not this morally corrupt or intolerant, but I can't imagine any group pushing this bill, and the fact that it actually passed leaves me in disgust of my fellow Americans. I thought we had hit an all time low with the so called 'marriage protection' acts, but this is a whole new level. I am just repulsed. And yet people still wonder why I turn my back on the religion I was raised in and my own government.
Qop!

"Do you suppose they's all they ever had, sir?"
"No. But that's all they have left."
