I received the following from Heironymus and another reader the other day.
It seems that lately
my life has been getting more complicated, and I
want to thank those of you who are brave enough to still associate
with me regardless of what I have become.
The following is a recap of my current identity:
I was born white, which makes me a racist.
I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which makes me a fascist.
I am heterosexual, which makes me a homophobic.
I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an
ally of big business.
I am a Christian, which makes me an infidel.
I am older than 65 and retired, which makes me a useless old
person.
I think and I reason; therefore I doubt much that the main stream
media tells me, which makes me a reactionary.
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which
makes me a xenophobe.
I value my safety and that of my family; therefore I appreciate the
police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.
I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to
each individual’s merits, which makes me anti-social.
I, and my friends, acquired a good education without student
loans and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of odd
underachiever.
I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland by all
citizens, which makes me a militarist.
Please help me come to terms with this, because I‘m not sure who I
am anymore!
Newest problem – I’m not sure which bathroom I should use.
I must admit that I identify with most of this. About the only thing that is different is I’m not a Christian, but I am an infidel. I do know which bathroom to us. I have a penis so I use the men’s room.
