A Strange Quiet

My calender at work proclaims June to be Gay Pride month and I have to wonder at the notable abscence of gay "events" or press coverage. I am not complaining, I am wondering if they got our message? What they do in their bedrooms is their business, once it comes onto the streets and into policy it becomes the public's business. It seems sexual degenerates are still not welcome in polite society. In highschool we studied how the moral bankruptcy of the Greek and Roman empires brought them down. Wealthy men had enuques, castrated boys, as play things so as not to risk impregnation of their wives. Orgies were common in the baths of Rome, how ironic Rome became the center of Christian power. I rarely comment on the homosexual issues but I had to note their relative silence during their "Pride" month.

The Liberals have become so cloistered that they believe we all think as their clique does, sorry , it doesn't work that way. Those of us that don't frequent the coffee shops of Seattle, San Fagcisco or New York have a slightly different perspective on life and it is good. When you aren't crowded into concrete canyons the world is less dismal, and alot more open, with trees and meadows even. I guess if I lived in a big city I would be neurotic as well having lived in LA and San Jose. LA was alright as I lived just blocks from the National Forest, I hated San Jose as an urban nightmare though the coast range and Castle Rock SP are gorgeous. There is also some great wine tasting to be had around Saratoga and Los Gatos.

Speaking of wine , the bottle of the evening is a Luchesi 'Masque', a Bordeoux blend and very big, it could sit for a while. This is a Nevada City winery and one of the best of the foothill makers, all their wines are very big and will age very well.

Tom McClintock is the CaGOP bright star and is Arnie's running mate and our conservative voice while Arnold has to walk a political tightrope which he has done an enviable job of. I do believe if anybody can revive the GOP here in Ca. it is Tom. He has no national aspirations , he wants to help fix California and he has a plan to do it. They collectively took about 60% of the vote in the recall election, could the GOP be regaining a footing through California's eastern red counties with rapid developement?
