The world is in chaos.\u00a0 Nigerian women are being kidnapped and abused by the Boko Haram.\u00a0 Pakistan is harboring the terrorist Taliban.\u00a0 Syrian refugees are creating a major immigrant crisis in Europe.\u00a0 The Greek economy is in shambles.\u00a0 The Puerto Rican economy is worse than the Greek economy.\u00a0 ISIS is wreaking havoc in Belgium, France, and the Middle East, with Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah assisting in the effort to spread Islamic Jihad around the world.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We have a Presidential election with two misfits running for office, embarrassing America globally.\u00a0 Putin is terrorizing the Russian people and the Zika virus and Brazilian corruption are threatening the 2016 Olympics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Transgender\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So what is the biggest story on the f<\/strong>ront page of the New York Times this week?!\u00a0 Eleven states are suing the federal government over whether or not transgenders have the right to use the bathroom of their choice.\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 Clearly, America has its priorities straight!<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s take a short trip down history lane, noting that when the Founding Fathers designed the First Amendment protections, it is highly unlikely that they had Caitlyn Jenner in mind!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the 1960\u2019s, when America was struggling with Black Power and the rights of minorities, First Amendment rights stood as the model for which America was founded.\u00a0 In 1879, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony fought for women\u2019s right to vote, they were heroines. When the 19th<\/sup> Amendment was finally passed in 1919, it was a just ending, a tribute to the courage of these suffragettes.\u00a0\u00a0 When Americans staged sit-ins and protests against the Vietnamese War, there was a sense of righteousness in our actions that helped citizens feel proud.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, we have a Supreme Court that is divided.\u00a0 We have eight members currently, \u00a0with party affiliations that slant decisions.\u00a0 With the recent death of Antonin Scalia, we can expect that there will be entirely too many votes that result in 4-4 decisions, with little justice being meted out.\u00a0 We have a stalemate in Congress where they will not even consider a Presidential nominee because the Republicans are hoping for a White House victory in November, one that will result in a Supreme Court candidate with more conservative views.\u00a0\u00a0 One prime example is a recent default decision, a 4-4 stalemate resulting in a no-decision regarding non-union workers paying fees.\u00a0 Who suffers from this inadequacy?\u00a0 The answer is simple, the American people! \u00a0A default decision is a victory for chaos, a victory for a Congress that no longer represents the people of this once great country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then there is the ACLU, the American Civil Liberties Union, an organization that is so far left in defending the First Amendment that they could easily fall off the cliff of sanity.\u00a0\u00a0 They claim to uphold the Constitution of the United States, while they bring the economy of this country into negative dimensions by costing us billions of dollars in frivolous lawsuits over the rights of a minority so small that some of us rarely encounter them in our lifetime.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So now let\u2019s get back to the \u201ctransgender crisis\u201d<\/span> or whatever the Hell it is!\u00a0 Personally, I could care less if a transgender individual invades my bathroom.\u00a0 If I am uncomfortable, I have the choice to leave. But it is more than likely that I would \u00a0just ignore the situation.\u00a0 Secondly, it is highly prejudicial and illogical to believe that a transgender individual presents a greater threat upon entering a bathroom than any other individual.\u00a0\u00a0 For the record, I consider it a personal affront that there has never been an issue of bathrooms for drag queens. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A young adult recently educated me regarding this issue, stating that children\u2019s minds are a blank slate.\u00a0 If we, the adults, do not fill their minds with prejudicial attitudes, children will not develop biases.\u00a0\u00a0 Note: One might agree that this is true of teenagers.\u00a0 Young people, e.g. between the ages of 7 and 13 years of age, might be more sensitive to the situation. \u00a0\u00a0I might envision that an eleven year old girl having a transgender boy\/girl enter her bathroom would probably find the situation extremely discomforting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em> This young adult stated definitively that he would be indifferent to a transgender teenager entering the boy\u2019s bathroom.\u00a0\u00a0 This attitude might be accurate in New Jersey; maybe not so much in the mid-West and Deep South, specifically North Carolina.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has it occurred to anyone but me that there is the possibility of some<\/span> transgender individual<\/span> preferring to have a separate, designated bathroom?\u00a0<\/span><\/span> There has to be a process of adjustment for transgenders, one where they have to find themselves, where their friends and families have to adapt to a new reality.\u00a0 For young transgenders, one would imagine that it might even be more difficult, with people looking at them with blank stares, treating them like outcasts.\u00a0 I am certainly not an authority on the issue, but I do remember a time, not so many years ago when gays had a difficult time \u201ccoming out\u201d, in fear of the ramifications.\u00a0 It took many years before the level of tolerance in our society for gays reached the point where gay marriage would become legal.\u00a0 That does not change the fact that there remain strong feelings among many religious groups that gay marriage is unsanctioned in the Bible and not to be tolerated in their world.\u00a0 So why should we be even remotely shocked that these same groups do not want \u201ctransgender freedom to use the bathroom of their choice\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The transgender issue is being totally embraced by the media.\u00a0 Articles permeate magazines and blog sites.\u00a0 It is the \u201cit\u201d topic of the day.\u00a0 \u201cTarget\u201d clearly used the issue to promote its brand. They were willing to accept the backlash to have their name plastered all over TV and newspapers.\u00a0 Few Americans truly believe that the Target Corporation cares either way. \u00a0It\u00a0 was \u00a0just following the old mantra: \u201cthere is no such thing as bad publicity\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is one humorous aspect of this ridiculous media circus.\u00a0 President Obama wants the legislation regarding \u201ctransgender bathroom freedom\u201d to be part of his legacy<\/span>.\u00a0 It is hard to calculate which is more ludicrous: believing that he can force legislation down the throats of right wingers to accept transgenders into male and female bathrooms, or his believing that Iran can be trusted to honor a treaty to ban nuclear weapons.\u00a0 Obama should really be laying off whatever medication he is currently taking!<\/strong><\/p>\n
