Yeah, I can joke and laugh at it all now, that devilish blue stained dress.
But you know what, I really hated it all when it came out because it turned the political world upside down.
Remember that we spent 60 million dollars looking into the Whitewater land deals and what we ended up with was that lil devil in the stained blue dress. We got there because the only way to bring down Clinton was to bring out his sex life.
Are we enjoying what we reaped with that now?
I am tired of sex and morality being the issue that divides many of us. I don't think of anybodys private life when I meet and talk with them. Sex and religion are not the number one issues I use when I think about others. Those two things are NONE OF MY BUSINESS!
So why oh Why are we beating each other up on two issues that are really privacy issues?
At one time our country had many laws that were created to make folks adhere to a morality based on the most puratanical element of christianity. There was a name for these laws, blue laws and these folks at one time were called "bluestockings". These blue laws were implimented to enforce religious standards on everyone and were created to make Sunday a holy day.
No commerce on Sunday, no working on Sunday, no ice cream sales on Sunday. Yep, that is where the sundae came from. It was a confection created to side step the blue law against Sunday sales of ice cream and ice cream sodas.
We had Southern and Mid-Western states that created blue laws that targeted non-religious people and people of other religions. Some laws were created to control Jewish folks and Seven day Adventists. Look what happend to the Mormans to see how these types of laws were made to hinder one religious denomination from growing in the east. They were pushed into the most uninhabitable lands just to be free from persecution.
These blue laws were created to enforce one type of christian belief on to others. People were fined or jailed for playing cards, singing and dancing or even fixing their fence on Sunday. You could not buy pots and pans on Sunday.
Even now in this 21 century we have blue laws still on the books in some states on the sale of beer, wine and liquer. And in some states car dealers cannot sell cars on Sunday.
Why do I bring all this up?
Well we have a new type of bluestocking and they wish to create laws that again control all the American people with their religious views.
The marriage issue and gays is really nothing more than a modern cousin of these old blue laws. We have both civil and religious marriage in this country so why should civil ceremonies be restricted by another person religious beliefs?
Why can't I and my friends sit down in a quiet bar that doesn't smell like french fry grease so we could have a nice quiet beer together? BLUE LAWS that's why!
I am sick and tired of sex and religion taking away from real issues we need to work on. I am tired that politcians need to explain their private live in public. I don't care who is a good little pilgram, I don't care who tapped another person in a bathroom or who is a better family man or woman.
So, what have we got from that old smeary blue dress?
A resurgence of BLUESTOCKING POLITICS!
