The Culture of Life

That would be the current talking point for the party in power. Every time I turn on the television or the radio, I hear the phrase worked into a discussion of whatever the current news cycle is going on about.

What is a Culture of Life? It seems to suppose that there is a group of people who are pro Culture of Life (the good guys with all the morals) and then there are the rest of us who hate life, love death, and have no moral values whatsoever.

I really resent that. It’s grossly offensive.

So, in keeping with my offended status, let me rename The Culture of Life:

The Repressive Culture of Fundamentalist Propaganda.

Pissed off? Oh no, not me.

We could use the word suppressed interchangeably with oppressed.

I think the suppressed should start a very large savings pool and initiate a hostile take over of FOX NEWS.

Why yes. It is a favorite fantasy.

(and my captcha word is “gollum”. Hm.)

Well, it is publicly held

(Woot!  Julia Roberts, rejoice! “Phineas” is the captcha word!)

Not irrelevant at all, Bobbi. And thank you. The departure from my normal navigation style concerned me. I appreciate the feedback.

Linkmeister....that poor child! He’ll be in 3rd grade before he learns how to spell his name. But she named her daughter Hazel! Oh dear heaven.

Hey now! Are you saying David Niven and Shirley Booth aren’t proper role models? wink

Kate

So call me a product of my early years. I’ll never be able to hear the name Hazel without seeing Shirley in her apron holding her feather duster and hearing that awful “Hazel....Haaaazel”.

David Niven...Worthy role model. I never did much like Around the World, but just about everything else he did was A-Okay with me.
