Gathering of the Heretics Union Local #447

[slipjig3]

I am dedicating this post (and its comments) to the pursuit of a single goal: confession of our daily heresies, the small ones we all carry as members of modern society, without guilt or shame or fear of retribution. Note that anonymous posting has not been enabled, in the interest of all of us embracing our heretical stances and not cowering from our differences—or, dare I say, our similarities.

I will begin: *deep breath*


Lord of the Rings is boring.

Tori Amos's best album was From the Choirgirl Hotel. Liz Phair's was Whip-Smart.

Ice cream and cake have no business being on the same plate together, ever. Also, chocolate syrup trumps hot fudge any day of the week.

Eliot's "The Wasteland" is pretentious twaddle. So is Infinite Jest.

Beer is marginally drinkable at best, swill at worst.

Sammy Hagar was a better Van Halen lead singer than David Lee Roth, and had Gary Cherone stuck around, he might have beaten them both.


*another cleansing breath* Your turn. (Please note that flaming the brave confessors will not be tolerated. Thank you.)

Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones are both overrated.

People should have to obtain licenses to bear/raise children. (You'd have passed, hon, don't worry. :) )

Beaurocracies should be taxed according to the amount of red tape and wastefulness.

Flat income taxes. The more you make, the more you pay. 'nuff said.

...of course, there's more.

But porn of Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones sharing Taco Bell while driving to a LotR movie marathon at church...

Yes, yes, yes on the license to bear/raise children! I would go so far as to say that I am for mandatory abortions/sterilization for women with a chronic history of drug/alcohol abuse.

Hahahaha! And who could we trust to hand out licenses? That's always the stumper for me. Newt Gingrich? Hillary Clinton? The Duggars? Eric Rudolph? Oprah Winfrey?

For a while there was a city with a program that would give crack addicted women $200 cash on the spot if they agreed to and went through with a tubal ligation. They could use the money for crack or whatever they wanted.

I thought it was a great idea.....but of course, some folks didn't like it.
