Just accept it

I like to listen to talk radio... except for the aggravation it causes me. It's a lot like reading editorials in the newspaper.

I listened to a bit of the talk last night on my way home from a Superbowl party. (We left early so i have no idea who won, at this point.) The guest was saying that "you guys" (whoever that is) just need to accept the fact of homosexuals, homosexual relationships and practices, and homosexual "marriages." The host was astute enough to ask the question "why" if there are some who, because of moral and religious convictions believe that homosexual practices and lifestyles are wrong. The guest answered (not exactly his words - but close enough), "Because it just is. You have to get over it."

Okay, using that logic we should also "just accept" murder and robbery. We should throw out laws about prostitution and gambling. There should be no speed limits on any of our roads. It's okay if our kids cheat in school. Spousal abuse and child molestation "just are" so we shouldn't complain about them. Terrorism should just be accepted - forget national security and national defense.

And never mind the doctor. Disease "just is" so accept it and get over it. Krone's disease, cancer, Hodgkins disease... quit whining about these things and just accept them. Get over it. It just is.

And life would be what... better?
