Go ignore somebody today.

I see in the news that the American Episcopal Convention is creating a bit of an uproar by declining, (so far), to declare a moratorioum on consecrating any more gays as bishops and allowing the union of gay couples.

Wow. Did Iran turn into a red state and the rest of the world clean up its act? If one is not a member of the Episcopal Church (or the larger Anglican Communion), then who cares? Even if one is a member or associate of one of these bodies, what difference does it make? Speaking as an occasional attendee of a Protestant Church, (not mentioned here), who takes the occasional drink and/or cigar and defends vehemently his right to do so, I have to ask, what impact does this have on your day to day life? What my minister does that does not impact me is not high on my concerns list. It falls somewhere beneath dust storms on Mars......

This is an issue without any real merit or newsworthiness, its function is to keep the general population, (those that can read anyways), all agitated and worried about queers while what is left of the national wealth (sometimes referred to as "our heritage") is plundered.

If one does not like the policies of a church, school district, company or whatever, stop supporting it, pay it no attention to it and you will see just how powerful inaction can be...
Sometimes, taking a stand is not the right thing to do. Some (not all) of these things are inflated well beyond thier importance, just to pick a fight, which becomes an issue in itself.
