President Obama riding a lion with a crossbow and a light sabre

89. I am asking you to consider that perhaps not everything that you consider to be a "vanity post" is

what you assume it is. Some of it is just fun.

There is some of that sort of thing you are concerned about around, so I acknowledge your concern that we should be rationally functional, what I'm trying to suggest to you also is that just because some people engage in a little harmless pleasure that doesn't mean that they ALL worship Obama. If your concern is about people surrendering their capacities for reason, isn't it a similar abdication of reason to imply that anyone who admires Obama's abs or enjoys an interesting and unusual picture is worshipping Obama? Perhaps you don't mean to imply that, my error, but I was just trying to clarify that. Some of us are just enjoying the novelty of having an interesting, attractive, competent, fun candidate for a change. We're highly experience, worldly, and sophisticated adults who have not lost our capacity to reason just because Barack Obama has nice abs.
