Wayfaring Stranger comments on Russell Co. wet vote The Wayfaring Stranger Very Personal Comments of the Wayfaring Stranger "The natural position of woman is clearly, to a limited degree, a subordinate one. Such it has always been throughout the world, in all ages, and in many widely different conditions of society." - (From "Female Suffrage. A Letter to the Christian Women of America. Part I," Susan F. Cooper, 1870.)Without a doubt, many faces in Russell County this snowy January day are still longer than the Mississippi River is wide in the wake of Tuesday's somewhat stunning pro-wet vote. Without a doubt too, many on the losing side were guided by their conscience in their efforts to keep Russell County dry (in the legal sense but not in any sense connected to reality). On the other hand, it occurs to this Wayfaring Stranger that some of the generals who led the charge of this recent lost cause belong to the same warp and woof as those of bygone (and the not so bygone) days who forcefully, fearsomely informed all who listen that slavery was okey-dokey with God, and that women working (for filthy lucre, that is, and earning a bit independence in the process) and having the right of franchise would whip Him into a righteous wrath and rain ruin upon us all. Also according to these prognosticators of peril, long-haired men, bobbed-hair women, jazz, rock-n-roll, card playing, and birth control (among sundry other contrivances frequently attributed to Old Scratch himself) would bring down from on high the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah; and the recent legalization of gay marriage brought forth many a prognostication of end times arriving tomorrow at the latest. Meanwhile, most keep quietly toiling away, perfectly happy to accept the new for what it is -- simply the new, not evil incarnate -- and to perhaps rejoice in the rights and privileges of some being extended to all. --The Wayfaring Stranger This story was posted on 2016-01-22 01:31:32
