it's too early for this

I was going to make a sarcastic comment on how ridiculous it is that Bush and his allies plan to protect the institution of marriage by oppressing the people.

Then I realized that there was no point. It's not ridiculous at all. Or, it is, but that's the way Bush and allies simply choose to operate. Protect the institution by suppressing the people. As Lois McMaster Bujold put it, principles before persons.

I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and think that this is simply a difference in moral philosophy between them and me -- to think that they honestly believe they are doing good by upholding symbols at the suffering of people.

Unfortunately, I get the impression that their moral philosophy is a lot simpler. Us over them.

I don't try to think that I have all the answers. I don't expect people to go along with all my beliefs and opinions as gospel truth. Maybe the Republican financial philosophy really is better for our country. Maybe we really do need to take military action in order to protect our country's security. Maybe if everything I wanted our government to do suddenly became done, people would be *worse* off than they are now.

But then I look at the lies, the cheats, the hypocrisy, the propaganda, the betrayals that have put us where we are. And maybe I have to take my own stand of principles before people.

Bush Daitouryou, yurusarenai.
