Keye Rhetoric

   You gotta love someone like Alan Keyes. In case you've never met him, he's running against Barack Obama for U.S. Senate in Illinois. The stuff that comes out of his mouth must be like gold for comics. This week instead of the chicken and the egg argument, he came up with the cow pen and the keg. It makes no sense. He says if children have gay parents, they will end up in incestious relationships.
   "If you can't know who your sisters and brothers are, there is no way you could avoid having sexual relations with them," the Republican former United Nations ambassador said. "I know that Senator Obama sometimes has a hard time getting from A to B."
   OK, so gay parents cause incest? I have to wonder where the logic is, especially considering that Keyes criticized Obama's logic. Wouldn't that mean that many kids who are adopted by heterosexual parents are at risk also? Wouldn't that mean that couples who are infertile and had children through other means were also causing this wave of incest? One must wonder if this problem of relations with brothers/sisters is a problem in Keyes mind only because it just doesn't connect with the real issue. Or maybe it's just political rhetoric. The real issue here would seem to be dishonest parents. Being brought up without the truth would be a problem for any child - gay or straight.
   Either way, it's so stupid that it's funny. It's like saying that if you don't know how to use a washing machine that you'll go to work naked. Or if you don't know where a bathroom is that you'll pee yourself. So please, be sure to wash your clothes and always know where the toilet is. It's for your own good!
