We Are All Cremated Equal
Today's title comes from Jane Ace. If you've never heard of Jane, don't sweat it because she never heard of you, either and if she had, she probably wouldn't have listened to you any more than you do to her. And thus, we have even more, as if we needed it, proof that we are all cremated equal.

No matter how, why or when we die. Even if you choose some alternative to cremation, you will end up cremated someday. The sun will one day explode and incinerate everything on Earth, including you, and being frozen or mummified or whatever else isn't going to prevent it. It's one of those things that should be added to the list of certainties that usually only includes death and taxes.

And it will be completely equal. Everyone from the richest kings to the poorest of the homeless will be treated exactly the same. We will have finally achieved total absolute equality for everyone. Just when we need it least. Unlike now, or any other point in the past or future when we could really use it.

Not that some people aren't trying. President Obama, for example, just announced (Finally) that he supports gay marriage. Right after North Carolina became the latest state to ban gay marriage (Which was already banned there. Just how insecure are these people?) and as always, it just seems like one step forward and two steps back and too little too late.

But it's not just about gay marriage...Oh, on that topic, I've said this before but given what just happened in NC, I feel the need to say it again. My marriage lasted 8 years, which is a pretty long time for a heterosexual marriage and I keep seeing on TV all these gay couples who have been happily together for more than 20 years, so if all you holier than thou wanting to protect the sanctity of marriage and not daring to offend God types out there are really serious about it, you should start banning people like me from getting married and just leave the gays alone...and abortion and healthcare.

It's also the economy, stupid. And what it's doing to people. Here is an entire article about how it's increasing the suicide rate in Italy (http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/09/11621840-in-debt-or-jobless-many-italians-choose-suicide?lite). The funny part of it is that it doesn't mention all the other countries, especially the US, where it's also happening.

The funnier part of it is that it doesn't mention how all the God fearing, life is scared, conservatives are the problem. Mass murdering suicide encouraging idiots like George Bush and Mitt Romney would never have any power if even bigger idiots would stop voting for them.

I've said this before, too, but given all the current events and all the events that preceded them, it bears repeating: Conservatives are too stupid to vote and they are costing us too much. The solution to most of our problems seems so simple, obvious and doable on a time frame that's likely to encompass most of our lives . So why are we waiting for for the final cremation to finally be equal? And maybe even happy.
