If understanding the law of gravity makes me an elitist — so be it

So I’m wrapping up my holiday, back to work tomorrow. Of course we’ll party again tomorrow night for new years, so we aren’t entirely back to reality, but we’re winding down.
Anyway I’m sort of annoyed because I’m going to have to drink nothing but the good vodka tonight — I’m out of the cheap stuff which I’d ordinarily turn to as the night wanes on. I would have bought more today, but of course we live in a place where conservatives tell people when and where they can buy alcohol, and by gum not on the Sabbath. So much once more for the “conservatives support free markets” nonsense.
But that’s not the point. The point was that I was pondering this fact and thinking about what our blue laws say about our state. But then the news came on and ran a story explaining why you shouldn’t shoot your gun in the air tomorrow night.
Sigh.
Maybe gravity is just a theory and we should embrace intelligent falling?

This is why it is so important to keep putting the intellectual smackdown on religion.
