Ding, dong, the wretch is dead

Jerry Falwell is dead.  It doesn’t matter.  Another wicked religious zealot who misuses the name of Christ will rise in his place.  It’s not so much that the world is a fucked-up place, as the people who live in it are a fucked-up people.

There’s a difference between guilt and shame.  Shame is guilt without justification.  Guilt is a very checks-and-balances emotion that keeps us morally in check, providing a nauseous sense of discomfort when we do wrong.

My toes itch.
