Maybe I need some Prozac or Xanax? Better yet, maybe just a little more reason…

Once again, the “religious right” is marching against the right of employers and government to medically insure women who desire birth control. The catholic church doesn’t believe in unnatural means to prevent pregnancy; so it’s only logical for them to foist their beliefs on everyone else.

It almost ruined my morning coffee ( a wonderful pleasure plus caffeine is now supposed to prevent heart disease) to read how the religious right is enraged that pro-choice people are taking away THEIR rights. As I understand this, the pro-choicers are trying to stop THEM from having the right to jam their beliefs down everyone’s gullet. That’s just what we need, more control freaks trying to control people who believe in letting people choose for themselves.

Listen, I’m not holding it against Tom Cruise and John Travolta for believing that Xenu brought billions of people to earth in spacecraft resembling DC-8 airplanes. The Thetans (souls) then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living. Yep, the Thetans are still doing it today. I still enjoy Cruise’s and Travolta’s movies. See, I’m not trying to force them to believe the way I believe.

It’s not easy to think for yourself, to actually evaluate what our parents, peers and religious advocates have programmed us to believe. But, it’s doable. Actually evaluating what we’ve been force-fed from the age of 1 day, is brutally hard, but if you succeed, the relief to finally be free is enormous.

“There’s enough love for both of you, Tommy,” mommy said, sometime around the time you already knew how to walk, run, talk, and understand that TV was really cool.

“Yeah, right,” Tommy thought, staring down at Larry, his 5-day-old brother, who everyone was cooing over.

“Larry loves you,” mommy said.

Tommy looks again at Larry, sleeping quietly in his crib, with slobber dripping out the side of his mouth, and instinctively knows the real truth. Love, shmub, life will never be the same again…

Years pass, and magically no one gets killed or maimed, and the 2 guys actually grow up loving each other. BUT, when it’s time for sports or ONLINE SCRABBLE, it’s a fight to the death.

In a normal game, a move might take a minute. In a brother against brother game, it might take 24 hours — at least. No surprise. The loser, like The Road Runner Rabbit, is fighting for his very existence. But, luckily, after one of the brothers is destroyed, he miraculously is reborn.

No one can ever replace your brother. After all, he’s the only one who ever truly understood what it was like growing up in your home and who your parents really were. Only you have the right to destroy your brother, knowing you’d never really hurt him and he’d never really hurt you, EXCEPT ON GAME DAY.
