RONNIE’S RAMBLINGS
I
By Ronnie Wilson
occasionally go political in this space, as I am today. I am embarrassed to live in a state with the narrow minded, gutless, bigoted, self-serving legislators and governor who have little if any regard for what is in the best interest of a majority of Hoosiers.

not addressing this issue now is that it may have a deleterious effect on their efforts to get re-elected. It was stated in the Indianapolis Star on February, 3, 2016, “...that the decision to yank the LGBT antidiscrimination
legislation provided political cover for many Republican members who cringed at the prospect of voting on such a sensitive issue just days before the filing deadline for primary challengers...(the) decision also spared (Gov.) Pence from a tough decision on the issue amid one of the toughest campaigns of his political career.” (I always thought making the tough decisions was an integral part of governance, (the buck stops here), apparently, I am wrong To paraphrase, “saving their jobs and their a--es is more important to them than properly serving their constituency, which is what they swore to do when they took office.

More, continued from page 5 of business and industry have stated that LGBT rights and protections will come to pass in Indiana, unfortunately not this legislative session. OK, now that I have vented; on to lighter subjects. (I may have vented, but I am still embarrassed by and infuriated with Indiana’s state leaders.) Descartes sits down at a cafe and orders an espresso. The waiter asks if he would like a croissant as well. Descartes replies, “I think not” and promptly disappears. People think Smokey the Bear studied Forestry in college, but he was actually an Ursa Major. There are 10 types of people, those who understand binary, and those who don’t.
