The most ubiquitous Don’t

The political climate is very caustic and negative these days and I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re essentially a negative society. We’re governed by negatives, in particular the word “Don’t.”

Why is that? Don’t ask me! All I know is that don’ts are all over the place. Don’t litter, don’t loiter, don’t walk on the grass, don’t spit, don’t talk, don’t tailgate, don’t cross on the red, don’t use near an open flame and don’t drink and drive . Then there’s don’t enter and don’t exit. The don’ts got you coming and going.

Judge Vaughn Walker overturned Proposition 8 the other day under the irrefutable Constitutional argument that gay marriages are better than traditional marriage.

I’m all for it. Love and marriage. Boys, girls, pets, plants, toasters — If you love it, you should be able to marry it.

Personally I do not think anyone should ever pass laws against same sex marriage. Legislators would have better luck with a ban against “no sex” marriage. If you get married you have to have sex. It’s the law.

Racist

That’s what I yelled, all you Mel Gibson haters. Twice.

Not as bad as what was recorded coming out of Mel’s mouth, but I guess it’s enough to call me a racist.

Turn off the radio, you fucking spic bastard.

This was Manhattan in the early sixties. I had a cheap, rent-controlled apartment on 60th & Amsterdam. The bedroom window overlooked the courtyard of the buildings on 59th and 60th off of Amsterdam.

In Part 1 below, I suggested that Obama (and his supporting cast of Marxist, wealth distributing cohorts) is like Lenin. That is, he is willing to sacrifice the welfare of the people to institute a transformational change in a political system. Just as Lenin wanted to overthrow the cruelty of the Russian monarchy and all it’s attachments, Obama wants to destroy the evil of capitalism.

By now it should be clear that Obama places his ideology above the good of the people. He epitomizes Lenin’s famous justification for the great genocidal famine of the Ukraine in the pursuit of collectivisation: “If you want to make an omelet, you must be willing to break a few eggs.”

I dropped my nephew off at the condom distributing table of his high school the other morning. Business was brisk, as you can imagine whenever the potent combination of sex and freebies is offered to a teenager.

This?

Or This?

The condom distributing table is — no sacrilege intended — a godsend for adolescents like my nephew. He’s easily embarrassed when he tries to get a condom the old fashioned way– from a pharmacist. He even blushes when he tries to buy them anonymously from a dispenser.

Well, Arizona has given us the latest twist in our national illegal immigration problem. It seems that people of all stripes are pressing the hispanic button.

My solution is fairly straight forward. Progressive liberals (or whatever they’re calling themselves these days), many of whom who love the idea of diversity but can’t stand actually being next to it, need to step up to the plate. Most of you don’t live in an Hispanic neighborhood, you don’t send your kids to schools with large Hispanic or black students, you just want the rest of us to do that so you can assuage your guilt for being white and successful.

After an absence of seven years, I’ve been back in this wonderful city for five days. My wife, who just got her Masters in Social Work has come for a conference in group therapy techniques. She’s learning stuff, it’s a write off and we’re seeing old friends.

And I’ve been re-enjoying this extraordinary city, where I spent seven happy years writing television here and for the CBC in Toronto.

I took some time off from a script deadline to watch a repeat of a Law and Order I hadn’t seen — yes, there are some left — and it got me thinking about masculinity. So before I got back to work, I wanted to put those thoughts into some order.

The story was about the accidental death of a participant in an informally scheduled, lunch hour, fight club type event in a New York park, which later led to a revenge “rumble” between friends of the dead man and the “murderer’s” co-workers, which led to three more deaths and twelve injuries.
