Paradoxes of Faith

Ok, now I know I don’t hold South Carolina (or much of the South, for that matter) in high esteem…the whole slavery, Jim Crow, lynching thing was pretty stupid. And the fact that South Carolina got rid of the Confederate Flag from their government buildings and the rest of their state less than 7.5 years ago freaks me out.  But this is 2007, how backward is SC that this is the product of their educational system and a symbol of the beauty of their state?  Anyone who’s seen Little Miss Sunshine has witnessed the commodification of beauty of young American girls…now we’re witnessing the commodification of stupidity.  And another thing, South Carolina holds the 3rd US primary coming up!!!  This is who gets to vote first to shift the balance of power of our country?!  I think I’d rather be waterboarded…
