Outside The Asylum

One fictional autistic I have always admired is Wonko the Sane, from Life, the Universe, and Everything By Douglas Adams.   I've linked to my blog in a post where somebody said they feel like they were living in a giant asylum, and I thought I'd post this link.  Wonko the Sane- and the inner meaning of being Outside the Asylum

For George Floyd, based on this description of his life For want of a father, security is lost, For want of security, victimhood is assured, For the sense of being a victim, loyalty to the law is lost, For want of loyalty to the law, the crime is commuted, For want of justice, following police orders is lost, For want of following police orders, a life is lost, For want of a life, the protest for justice began, For want of justice, the riot began, For want of a riot, the looting began, For want of the looting, an zone was created, For want of the zone, a private army was created, For the private army, citizens were beaten.

There's a song that is hated by traditionalist Catholics for not being deep enough.  My Novus Ordo parish sings it quite frequently. It's a lie.  Not all are welcome. This exchange with a parishioner that I normally know and trust shows the depth of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They were angry about this totally silent and reverent act: This expression of utter hatred from a pro-life Democrat, shows that not all are welcome. After the last 72 hours, apparently, all are not welcome. President Trump isn't welcome. Conservatives like me aren't welcome. Heterosexuals are no longer welcome. White people are no longer welcome in America, let alone in church. All are simply not welcome- especially not a President standing with a Bible in front of a church claiming "All are welcome" that was firebombed for that message. Matthew chapter 7 is dead.
