Backwards to a Foreword

I started these writings with the intent of making mostly comedic style social observations. But opinions are like arseholes- everyone's got one- and as if often the way- the original intent is not what has eventuated, as the darker side of my mind has been very much in control lately.

All my writings are essentially a point of view or recollections of lived experiences. As with witness statements, which are not admissible as evidence in court due to the high rate of inaccuracy- sometimes what I feel, think or remember won't be the same as other people who may have been present for the same events.

They are my thoughts, feelings and memories, and may not necessarily represent those of people represented in them.

On the stupidity of bigots- part 1

I'm calling this part 1, because I'm sure I'll be exploring the stupidity of bigots further in the future.

For today, lets consider Tom Kenyon- a Labour MP in South Australia.
The evidence he's a bigoted moron: “I don't want to be rude to Penny (Wong) but it's not her baby, do you know what I mean? It's not, biologically, it's not, it's not the biological product of two people,” Mr Kenyon said during a discussion on ABC radio.

I would like to congratulate Mr kenyon on the bredpth of his stupidity in that it was insulting to so many people in diverse ways in one moronic sentence: he succeeded in not only insulting same sex couples, but anyone born of or using ivf, donor gametes, adoption, step and blended families.

I would like to point out that two biological 'products' (gametes) must be involved to create a child regardless of if they are going to socially raise that child, a process known as "parenting". Unless it is a clone or the product of "immaculate conception" like the farcical "Lord Jesus".  I would suggest that Mr Kenyon was giggling down the back of class and making fart noises instead of listening during sex ed and/ or learned everything he knew from finger gesutred behind the bike sheds.

If he's being consistent he is also either challenging the central tenet of Christianity- ie that Jebus was the 'son of god'. For "God" to have inseminated Mary would mean there were not two biological products. Hmm flies inthe face of your theory eh Kenyon? OR he is suggesting that Sophie allouche should be elevated to the status of the "virgin" Mary?

Interesting... I can see it now- Senator Wong parents the next Messiah!
