Pop Culture Edition
Let me preface this by saying that I've spent what seems like most of my life (at least 20 years) disagreeing with everything Jerry Falwell ever said. I'm a female Democrat who has always believed that women deserved the same opportunities as men-and it always seemed the me that the rules at Liberty University (no pants, no dating, etc...) were designed from 2 viewpoints-one is that women can't take care of themselves and the other is that men can't control themselves, so women wearing skirts is an unbearable temptation for men-so no tempting...(funnily enough, this is the same as in Islam and is the reason women are supposed to wear the veil). That said, i can't imagine Falwell would like the picture on the front page of today's Washington Post... this picture http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/print/asectionfrontimage.html
Is this girl really waiting in the line to pay her respects to Jerry Falwell? She's a far cry from the sweater/pearls/modest skirt typical of Liberty University. She looks more like she wandered away from the local Wicca meeting and got lost- shouldn't she at least put some shoes on?
