a note about kentucky

I am in the library here and looking out onto the square, watching the cars travel past. I keep thinking about what Scotland is known for and what Edinburgh is known for. My mind began to wonder and I began to think about what Kentucky is known for and then from there I questioned what we have "accomplished" in the state this year. We had the World Equestrian Games, which is of course a major step for us. However, in this same year, Kentucky has elected Rand Paul and decided to build aNoah's Ark theme park.

Skipping Rand Paul, because I follow along with the "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" on these public forums. However, what is this "Ark" concept? In my mind, the concept is cheap and selling sacred beliefs short. Building a theme park in this context takes away from the actual history and belief in my mind. I am not a Christain, something I don't really talk about. I say my piece and I am done, however I have a deep respect for all religions. I feel that building a theme park based a bible story merely commercializes it rather than appreciating the value. How can people equate the deep traditions of religion, such as those found in the Catholic Church, with a theme park. Kids are going to puke all over the rides and there will be the theme park classics we all know about. I am talking to you mullet man with tattoo sleeves and a beer belly (maybe not beer belly, but something). I don't know what it is about our society that causes it to make everything commercialized, but this theme park is ridiculous. I suppose I am done with my rant now...I don't want to bore anybody with more of this. However, the final question will be, will the Harry Potter theme park be more popular than Noah? I think we all know the answer.

On the upside and possible downside, classes start today. Fun times.
