[Vision2020] Question, V-Peeps . . .

Sun Mar 25 13:03:21 PDT 2012

I'm sorry you'd feel so convivial towards someone who thinks kidnapping people and enslaving them is OK, presuming, I suppose, that it's no more a mark of character than preferring the Cubs to the White Sox.  And I'm sorry that you reduce Wilson's patriarchy to "who's in charge of the finances in their marriage."  Wish that were the extent of it.  It's more "who's in charge of everything because they're male," and it's lead and continues to lead to some very bad fruit within his empire.  I'm left to conclude that as much as you'd like us to know you as a good neighbor and civil community-builder, your idea of tolerant, civic-minded community-building reveals you to be either astonishingly, pityingly naive -- or terribly unconcerned that bad theology, bad ideas, and bad motives inexorably lead to bad practice of the kind that I can only pray you and yours don't personally experience.

You won't, likely enough, personally experience any Wilsonian menace, being a straight, white guy with some education, although your religious views may or may not pass muster with Wilson.  I trust THAT'S not the source of your patience with those who hold to different beliefs.

    This is a nice example of the intolerance I'm talking about.  I
    don't particularly care what views a person holds about antebellum
    slavery, or who they think should be in charge of the finances in
    their marriage.  I'll still sit down and have a beer with them.

    If the Intoleristas had instead been of the frame of mind of "sorry,
    we're not going to let you turn the Palouse into a theocracy, but
    we're still happy to have you as part of our community", then they
    might not have been so quick to accuse some of you of vandalism when
    they reported the incidents to the police.  Go out of your way to
    make yourself someone's enemy, and they will think of you first when
    something like that happens to them.
