8. I Still Dig Heinlein - Stranger In A Strange Land Was A Difficult Read As A Teenager

As a youngster it stirred thoughts within me that were anathema for the cult indoctrination that I was still enduring.

The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society each rejected reasoned factual evidence and in it's place embraced unfounded "closely held beliefs" a.k.a. delusional constructs without facts in evidence. Indeed, the depraved and sordid history of our nation is defined by those that have rejected reason and embraced delusion.

This is what has brought us to the place that we are today with Y'all Qaeda's Spanish Inquisition running SCOTUS and the GOP.

It's okay to have closely held beliefs. It's okay to hold one's genitals closely.
It is not okay to shove either down anyone else's throat.

Enshrining delusion as the rule of law is precisely what has destroyed and continues to destroy the very freedoms for which you and I fight.

We as Democrats fight for peace, stand for justice, and live in honor.
We are the party of reason, and we will not desist, for each of us knows that in the absence of reason, our freedoms cease to exist.

Which is why I say, may reason rule!
