Unfortunately, Tennessee seems to have a disproportionate amount of ignorant fools that are too lazy to think for themselves and, instead, do exactly what their told to do on Sunday mornings. All to often, their preachers tell them what to think (and how to vote) because “that’s how it’s always been”.<br /><br />Personally, as a Tennessean, I speak out! I write letters to representatives and make phone calls to officials when I see silly pieces of time-wasting legislation like "Don't Say Gay" in the news. Fortunately, our Governor put the brakes on this stupidity … for now.<br /><br />I sincerely hope that ISBL, and all right-minded bloggers, reporters, etc. continue to point a spotlight of shame at the archaic thought processes of my backwoods neighbors and their simple-minded leaders. Eventually, forward-thinking Tennesseans will speak out more often and more loudly than the dinosaurs we’ve been reading about in recent months.www.DiatribesAndOvations.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011237907664440530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-77422327801188537082012-03-15T15:47:57.097-04:002012-03-15T15:47:57.097-04:00Knowing how politicians rely on their index finger...Knowing how politicians rely on their index finger in the wind I have a feeling that public opinion was blowing in the opposite direction.the dogs' motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512888563325865616noreply@blogger.com
