All I can say is I'm never surprised by the hypocrisy that stands tall in America and throughout the world. Look at those from every religion who call for all of us to be spiritual even as those calling out openly ignore the main threads of their religions ..... to be there for the poor and the needy, to treat others as you would want to be treated. Instead, those so vocal in their spirituality will stand tall to deny the "others" what they have because those who look different than they or those who may have sexual preferences different from their own, and those who may not be of the  appropriate gender should not have the power that the more spiritual have been given by their God.

Oh well. I just listened to this song by Garth Brooks and I feel better already.

Lyrics: Standing Outside The Fire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHJW-3EGqKs

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk it the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always come with getting burned

But you got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire
We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

They're so hell bent on giving, walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

[Chorus:]
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide standing outside the fire
