Righteous indignation


John D. Carlson July 20th, 2011  

On behalf of all the dust balls who cannot speak for themselves, I feel that it is incumbent upon me to express a measure of indignant outrage at their — that is, the dust balls — stereotypical portrayal as being intolerantly homophobic (“Gay people living openly with homophobic dust balls” illustration by cartoonist P.S. Mueller, July 6, Gazette).

In addition to that, I take exception to the ignorant and unfounded implication that there exists, in reality, a single “gay” couple who possess the complete lack of housekeeping and decorating skills pictured therein. Apparently, Mueller has never tuned in to HGTV or TLC.

I — along with Charles Darwin and probably Gary Larson — would hope that, by this time in human history, we would have evolved far beyond this level of subliminal, erroneous brainwashing.

After all — to paraphrase Carl Sagan and Teilhard de Chardin — in the final analysis, we are all simply Sophisticated Cosmic Dust Balls Randomly Formed From Remnants of The Big Bang in a Becoming Universe.

Frankly — to add injury to insult — I am surprised that the “artist” didn’t include a portrait of Muhammad or Sally Kern on the wall.

You know . . . to make it “pop” . . .
