Right is Right. Wrong isn't

There are times where you just don't know where to start. When dealing with something so obviously wrong that everyone, every single one of us, should see what is wrong yet a good many of us insist is still somehow right, whaddya say to those who support the errant view? What can you do besides shake your head while trying to clear the errant thoughts, besides shaking your head trying to understand how otherwise rational human beings can support the insipid if not downright stupid? What can you say but ask, 'How can you think that?'.

The whole Bruce (we will not call him by any other name) Jenner plane crash illustrates this conundrum. You're a guy, Bruce. Science says so. And it's the same science which Christians are told every single day should guide their beliefs. Your DNA says you're a guy. Cut, snip, alter, and take all the meds you want. You're still a guy, Bruce. Science says so, and quite definitively. Accept that, if science is your god.

Yet he, and perhaps more interestingly those libertarian libertines who support him, solely because he fits their bill of individual rights, say the individual is who he or she says he or she is. When the person wants what is eminently stupid, well, that's on him. Or her, lest we offend those who personally select their feminine gender without regard for biological (read that scientific) truth. Well, maybe that's on him (or her). But if it is, then we must wonder how truly sentient and rational he (or she) is.

The rest of us, let's rest on our reason. We will be crucified. But at least we'll be in good company.
