Feminists have long decried the existence of beauty pageants, and the controversy over the fake female contestant "Jenna Talackova" may help in finally getting rid of the anachronistic contests.

After all, if men can compete in beauty pageants by fraudulently passing themselves off as "women," there is no point in having them.

Can you IMAGINE if "Jenna" actually won the Canadian contest and went on to win "Miss Universe"? What an insult it would be to the female sector of the human race to think the most "beautiful woman in the world" is actually a man! People with serious mental health problems would be celebrated for being surgically mutilated instead of getting the help they need. Real women would be thought of as not good enough to compete with fakes.

It's total madness. I blame the gay/lesbian community for ever accepting this pathology as anything resembling normal behavior going so far as to fighting for these people's "rights" to mutilate themselves and pass themselves off as something they aren't and never will be.

As for the general population, nobody outside of drag queen fans are going to watch the pageants anymore.

Good news on the death penalty front: It is possible Connecticut will be the fifth state in five years to do away with the death penalty.

This despite public opposition which still can't wrap around its head that as long as there are not foolproof ways to ensure innocent people aren't put to death, the death penalty is not an acceptable way to deal with violent offenders. It's all about "an eye for an eye," revenge, and all common sense is thrown out the window.
