FLASH: Weird People (Part Two)
In my last essay, I discussed whether our very permissive society should be as tolerant of weirdness and deviance as we appear to be. I went on to describe the startling “revelation” that “weird people DO WEIRD THINGS!” Now, I’d like to look at some of the weird things that weird people do.
First, consider the case of Kayla Lemieux (née David Menzies), a Canadian shop teacher that parades around the school sporting Z size prosthetic breasts.
Now, some very “progressive” people might claim that such tomfoolery is merely harmless eccentricity, and, as such, should be tolerated. Exactly how much such deviance might adversely affect the developing psyche of young students in the school remains, however, an open question. (And, one does wonder, also, about the SAFETY of such protruding prosthetics in shop class in close proximity power tools!). In days gone by, this weirdo would have been promptly escorted to a psychiatric facility. Today, he roams free.
Then there’s Dylan Mulvaney, the “flaming” cross dresser that somehow got himself hired as the new spokesmodel for Anheuser-Busch beer, resulting in the swift partial ruination of the the company’s brand (in a matter of days, market capitalization plummeted by an estimated 4 BILLION dollars! [source: Tom Norton, Newsweek Magazine, 4/14/23]).
While some may praise Anheuser-Busch’s open minded and “inclusive” modernism, the disastrous financial ramifications of such weirdness will not be lost on shareholders.
Now, so much for the somewhat less pernicious examples given above (one might call them “weirdness misdemeanors,” so to speak) and let’s venture into darker realms where weirdness crosses into criminality.
Consider the case of Sam Brinton, a self professed “gender fluid” individual that managed to get him/her/itself hired by the Biden Administration as the Assistant Secretary for the disposal of NUCLEAR WASTE!
It turns out Mr./Ms. Brinton has since recently managed to get himself/herself/itself ARRESTED TWICE at area airports for STEALING WOMEN’S LUGGAGE (apparently for his own use)! One wonders whether such an obviously unstable individual should, in fact, be IN CHARGE OF NUCLEAR WASTE.
Now, getting a bit darker, is the case of Rachel Glines (née Darren Glines). Ms./Mr. Glines was accused by multiple witnesses (including a child) of exposing “HER PENIS” (an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one!) in a women’s locker room. Fortunately for Ms. Glines (and unfortunately for everyone else) she/he was acquitted of exposing her/himself by a judge (who MUST be a Democrat) who claimed that she/he was TOO FAT for her/his genitals to be visible! The court did not comment on what effect the exhibitionist’s behavior may have had on the child.
Now, a bit darker still, is Brice Patrick Ryschon Williams (Photos: 4/27/23) a drag queen and “activist.”:
This individual has recently been charged with 2 dozen counts of CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. Trial pending.
Then, even darker, consider the case of “nudism activist” David DePape:
Not content with merely parading around in the buff, DePape has recently been charged with the assault and attempted murder of Paul Pelosi, husband of former speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi. It hasn’t been disclosed whether or not he was clothed at the time. His trial is pending.
Then, darkest of all, we have Nashville’s transgender (female to male) Audrey Hale.
Ms./Mr. Hale’s gender “issues” were, apparently, so gargantuan that she/he felt the need to attack her/his former high school with automatic weapons, while in class was in session, killing three CHILDREN as well as three adults.
She was shot dead at the scene. Her/His “manifesto” is said to be so scary that police have been reluctant to even release it to the general public.
Weird people, indeed, do weird things.
So, the question I ask is: By allowing or even encouraging such unabashed deviance and unbridled weirdness, is modern American society COMPLICIT in creating the rogues gallery I’ve described above? And, if so, shouldn’t we, as a society, pause and step back a bit from our headlong dive into “progressivism,” and question just how much deviance and weirdness we should we encourage, tolerate, or, even, how much we should allow?
Food for thought.
It is the sensationalism from the media that we have to deal with….as adults we can take it or leave it, and mostly pass it off as weird, but it’s the children we are really concerned about and we have to figure out how to explain this so that they, too, see it as weird……so, less screen time and phone time….who am I kidding…we need more exposure from adult role models and one on one from parents who can explain “weird” and not worry about offending…..maybe we have to get rid of the word “offending”and then we we can address“weird” (and maybe I am a weird old lady commenting on the subject)🤣
I agree with Nancy. Parents have to spend more time with their children. Newpapers have to start printing the true news. Schools have to start teaching reading writing and arithmetic Say the Pledge of Allegiance and a short prayer to start the day. No cell phones allowed in school. Morals should be one of the classes in school.
