Once again the Obama administration has used its favorite rainbow colored distraction to sneak by brutally fascist legislation right under supposed liberals' noses. Much has been made of the Supreme Court's marketing ploy of paying lip services to gay marriage, just in time to help Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's former employer, Monsanto, write their own protection act and have it smuggled through congress.
The crime against humanity known as the "Monsanto protection act" was not so cleverly hidden within a congressional spending bill, then obediently signed into existence on March 27th by a neutered president and ignored by hoards of cable subscribers and gay rights-only activists everywhere. Indeed, it seems that any issue that cannot be readily reduced to "team A versus team B" is simply beyond the scope of the average American, who ironically has been rendered so astonishingly dimwitted in large part by the very company that has just capitalized on their ignorance.
So as we waste time talking in circles about questions that should be rhetorical (is there really any valid debate about whether consenting adults should have the right to form any contractual unions they choose?) profoundly wealthy interests gain untold amusement watching us dwell on non-issues. The ability to contextualize and prioritize public issues seems to be almost completely extinct in America. Circular issues of personal philosophy take center stage while all encompassing issues such as the genetic mutation of our food supply, an issue which affects all humans who eat food regardless of marital status, leaves little more than deafening silence in its wake.
