dear e-mail contacts,

while it is always a pleasure hearing from you, i am getting more than tired of massive forwards containing urban legends, outdated information, and stuff that just plain pisses you off. this week alone i received outdated cold medicine drug recall information, a notice about jury duty scams and an e-mail begging me to boycott The Golden Compass, because it’s about “killing God”. while i take full responsibility for opening these e-mails, i always try to forward back the correct information.

if you are going to laden me with useless bullshit, i’m going to zing you with the facts. might sound harsh, but i’d sick and tired of living in a uninformed world.

and here is the thing about The Golden Compass. both hubbin and i read the book, and in no way did i feel that it was about “killing God”, if it actally was about killing God, i would have enjoyed it much more. but this stupid knee-jerk reaction about anything that questions our faith, whatever it may be, is just ridiculous. but i guess now that Harry Potter is all wrapped up, militant christians need something to bitch about.

the e-mail asking me to boycott this movie was from one of hubbin’s relly’s that i’ve only met about twice. and i’m willing to bet that she’s just passing it along because “it’s the right thing to do”. and this, my darlings, is why i feel like society is breaking down.
