morality is ridiculous

Good news! I'm not gay, since I don't really care for Spongebob Squarepants. Seriously, though, this is what one neo con offered by way of defending James Dobson's claim that SS promotes homosexuality:

Big Media's criticism of Dobson shows once again that they just don't get it - America's parents don't want SpongeBob, Big Bird and Elmo co-opted in an effort to persuade their kids that homosexuality is "normal and natural." Dobson sounded the alarm and now the liberal press is taking him to task. By distorting the facts they are attempting to marginalize him and undermine his influence. Clear-thinking Americans won't buy it - they've trusted Dobson's advice for 27 years and will see through the media's SpongeBob charade.

Okay, first off, homosexuality is normal and natural, since it normally, naturally occurs. Dude, anything humans do is natural, we're part of nature. Murder is normal and natural. Raping the planet is normal and natural. If we do it, it's nprmal and natural. Normal and natural are not value judgements, they're descriptors. N & N are not the same as good or bad.

It just seems like in 200 years we're going to be looking at stuff like this the way we look at victorian mores, like a quaint and ultimately amusing expression of our inability to deal with our own sex organs. I hope Max feels free to sleep with whomever he likes, as long as they're nice and he enjoys their company.
