Extremist Religion - The gentle subversion of America

A few posts ago, I joked about the website God Hates Shrimp. It is a work of parody of the extreme right wing of the US.

Today, I read in emmagrant01's lj about a law being proposed in Indiana. I followed the link to elke_tanzer's journal and found out that this is NOT a work of parody. This is not a joke.

Instead, this is the Taliban infiltrating the US. This is the subversion of freedom and democracy. This is scary.

This insanity has quite a few pieces I'd love to dissect, but instead, I'll just make one point. It's tough limiting myself to just it but here goes anyway.

The proposed law states (to quote the above article) Some of the required information includes the fertility history of the parents, education and employment information, hobbies, personality descriptions, verification of marital status, child care plans, letter of reference and criminal history checks.

A description of the family lifestyle of the intended parents is also required, including individual participation in faith-based or church activities.

It's time's like these that I'm really glad that the ACLU exists. I've been wavering on whether or not to join because of different stances that I'm not too sure I agree with. However, their vow to fight this just finished swaying me over. Thank God (and yes, I'm Christian) I live in Arizona. Hopefully the insanity stays contained in a small area and we can go in and treat these delusional people with medication before the law passes.

I'm going to join in on urging all of you to contact this nutjob. You can contact her through the government's website HERE. Her email is s32@in.gov.

To quote emmagrant01 - "fuck you, fuckers".

New Fic - Deprecor NC-17

This fic was inspired by two things. The first is this beautiful work of art by saoni. The second was the AWDT prompt of "I want it all and I want it now." AWDT is sponsored by jamie2109 and nocturnali. I'm well over the 500 word limit (err, way way way over is more like it).

This is not my normal type of writing so any concrit will be welcomed with open arms. Flames will help me toast some marshmallows.

Title: Deprecor (title of the artwork also)
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: 2124
Pairing: Harry/Lover (you'll have to read to see)
Excerpt in lieu of a summary: Harry liked the waiting. The anticipation built up in him as he kneeled. The first few times he’d waited, his back had hurt from the strain of keeping his posture so rigidly straight. Now, though, his back was conditioned to the demands. Harry cherished the anticipation because he knew that no matter what he thought, hoped or dreamed might happen; his lover would always surprise him.
Warnings: BDSM, Mindgames, Submissive!Harry
