Religion and Politics: where we've screwed up

Sometimes I headdesk at work. *sigh* Such as right now. There are comments I can't reply to because of the content of the post they're on. Worse, they're comments which point out typos, but as soon as I figured out which post they were on... VROOM. Back button, ENGAGE. So now I'm flailing a bit and fussing because I detest letting typos/errors in fiction stand.

Work. Feh.

Ahem. Anyways, this kind of started in my head as a rant about Religion making no-so-sweet love to Politics, wandered towards why I think polygamy ruined it for the rest of us, and ended up somewhere in the realm of Fandom standardization, which I'm bemoaned before. Not that I have a degree in either topic to my name, but our right to complain about thing we're uneducated in was guaranteed when the property requirement was removed from voting laws. So after a bit of quiet internal debate (that is, mental gymnastics), I've decided to separate the schools of thought and dropped fandom altogether, since most people who'll like one won't really care about the other.

In short: Religion. Politics. Get your genitalia out of each others mouths, plskthx.
