Nothing new under the sun?

Seen on a truck near Hammond:
Full Rutt
Meat Shop

You kill 'em
we'll cut 'em


Makes your mouth water, huh?

Recently I've had a chance to monitor human nature. The good news is I've found it still worth saving. I've watched a group of people serve another group of people. I've watched a number of persons who do not know the number of persons care deeply about those unknowns. I've seen givers give. I've seen lovers love.

There's still a lot to be loved about this ol' human race.

And then there's this: "After the joy of a wedding and the adoption of a baby came arguments that couldn't be resolved, leading Angelique Naylor to file for divorce. That left her fighting both the woman she married in Massachusetts and the state of Texas, which says a union granted in a state where same-sex marriage is legal can't be dissolved with a divorce in a state where it's not.

A judge in Austin granted the divorce, but Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is appealing the decision. He also is appealing a divorce granted to a gay couple in Dallas, saying protecting the "traditional definition of marriage" means doing the same for divorce."

I guess we've come full circle now haven't we? That thing about what God has put together let no man put asunder has no meaning in this instance, clearly.

It's the catch-22 of all catch-22s. Protecting what need not be protected because it can't be attacked through normal means is absurb, of course.

Just goes to show you.
