I could have taken a pickup load of pitchforks and torches and admonished the kids to take it to the next level . . .
The crazy thing is, I was in KCMO for that event, this past weekend. I saw all the Homecoming kids (all dressed up - so adorable!) all over the Plaza. There were a few kids I noticed who looked like they were possibly drag queens, and large number of girls who appeared to have taken out a gay boy as a date, a point I remarked to my Beloved in an almost condescending, "do they realize he's not interested in her?" kind of way. Now I realize I was the blind one!
I wish I'd known about the event; I'd have congratulated every kid I saw.

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
