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.

Any advice for what to do with my last three weeks of living single? Kelly will now move here on February 4, due to various factors. This, it goes without saying, rules. Go »

Saving up is hard to do. I'm spending every dollar I have after the holidays to move Kelly here next week, then we have to move again in two months to a larger place. And I have more than a grand to pay in taxes. Go »

The Weekend of Soup

This has been a miserable week. Monday: I woke up dizzy with a high fever and couldn't stay standing up. There were no cold or flu symptoms, but it wouldn't go away, so I worked the day from home. Go »

Pug Life

A friend recently contacted Kelly and me out of the blue to ask if we could take care of her dog for six days while she was on vacation, since the arranged sitter was suddenly unavailable. Neither Kelly nor I have experience taking care of dogs, and we're definitely not dog people. I was attacked by a dog when I was little and I've never been comfortable around them, especially any dog large enough to leap up from the ground and reach my face with its teeth. Go »
