Upsetting the Pace
by Scott Hardie on March 13, 2007

Gen. Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on homosexuality (link): "I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts... I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way." Great! So when does the military stop killing people? The good lord said that's much worse. Oh wait, I forgot: Killing is ok, but moral relativity isn't.

That's why, going forward, all homosexual acts must be performed in groups of of three individuals or higher. Then it's not so immoral.

P.S. Video taping of hot girl on girl on girl action is not immoral, so feel free! ;)

Well, in fairness, the Bible does make distinctions between "killing" and murder. Killing is fine under certain...well, actually a depressingly large number of conditions in Mosaic law. The commandment, as the cliche goes, prohibits murder, not killing.

Pace is still wrong on this, of course, because he doesn't grasp the difference between preference and morality, or, for that matter, morality and ethics. And its those distinctions that, in the BIble, separate killing from murder.

Jeffrey Katzenberg is a Crazy Person

I'm no fan of 3-D. I have lazy eye, which makes my right eye blurry and my left eye sharp. During a normal movie, I usually sit up front to be absorbed in the picture so that it doesn't matter, or if I sit in the back, I can concentrate to correct my vision. Go »

24 Hours in Orlando

Recent conversation with Brenda: me: "It's nice to meet you!" Brenda: "It's nice to meet you too!" As Steve mentioned, Kelly and I drove up to Orlando on Friday night to have dinner with the vacationing West family. Go »

Mayhem

Last night I saw Killswitch Engage, Slayer, and Marilyn Manson. This morning I discovered that Walgreens sells a pretty good neck brace for $11.99. Aaron Shurtleff bought my Mayhem Festival ticket in May as a gift, and I'm grateful to have another generous friend. Go »

House Hunted

I'm not superstitious, or I wouldn't say this until the closing next month: Kelly and I are buying a house. It's a great house, too, with a guest bedroom and a pool, and the neighbor training horses in the back yard every day, and plenty of room for just about whatever we'd want to do with it, at a lower price than similar houses around here. It's not a hundred percent perfect but damn if it ain't close. Go »
