Gallivancing

When I write a post for the BoZone, I often try too hard to be pertinent and clever. I tend to blow by the point I wanted to make by including extraneius bullshit that is no way pertinent to what I sat down to write about.

While my wish is to be clever and pertinent; sometimes , no make that oftentimes, I see a butterfly in my mind I haven't chased lately .... and off I go on a point destroying galavance........ just like I did at the outset of this post.

For me, the original goal of the BoZone is to have more relevance and less galavance. If nothing else, haa at least one point of connection to me; the times I live or lived in; something relevant others might be able to identify with and not the rampant inanities that often flow in and out of my mind on a regular basis. I tried to tell myself that by writing it all down, my focus on the point became clearer when I read it later. I convinced myself that writing helped me navigate the mania that exists in the world I have to live in. And because a lot of living is based on belief, If I think it helps me, it does. Just maybe not to the degree I imagine.

( NOTE - I thought I had created a new word - "Gallivance". Sadly, just more proof of what my mother claimed all the time, "There really is not anything new under the Sun, just tangents of the same old stuff". Gallivance is more commonly known as Gallivant or while out on a Gallivance, one is Gallivanting - roaming aimlessly without a clue.)

Now - The point I had considered before I derailed myself right out of the gate

A Trump created commission, the Religious Liberty Commission, has decided that the clause in the Constitution covering the Separation of Church and State is a lie. They call it an attack on people of faith.

My first objection to this "commission" is that it was created by the government at taxpayer expense with the sole goal of eroding more of our faith in the Constitution. To me, the commission's very existence is a violation of the Separation Clause in the First Amendment :

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

So what is this lie the Bible Thumpers are referring to? How does this clause inhibit the freedom of religion. Just like their nonsensical "How to be a Christian in 700 befuddling and Illogical pages", their sad attempt to undermine a law that benefits everyone only points to their ultimate goal of creating a theocratic state where no one is free.

On that note of relevance, I will halt this gallivance and .......... Gallivant on.

I am getting better at finding music that fits my posts. This tune took only a few minutes to locate. I have never heard of TX2. They are an Emo/Alt band from Colorado. They are relatively new to the big league music scene I guess. Damn. Look at me, Mr. Hip who's up to date amd not late. I am still somewhat fly for an old fart guy.   ;)

Here is TX2, with  "Randy McNally (No Love Like Christian Hate)"

Play it loud. Yeah, play it loud.
