How Problems That Aren’t Real Get Solved

Senator Rand Paul recently told an interviewer that the US needs to hold a series of “tent revivals” to solve the so-called “moral crisis” of same sex marriage. Paul suggested that since Washington would be unlikely to “solve” the issue, the solution should come from the countryside.

I can see why he’d think that. I’ve seen some very crafty solutions out in the countryside. For example, one time I was driving through Eastern Washington, up near the Canadian border. Out in a field I saw a dead, rusting car that was missing all its doors. The owner could’ve had the eyesore towed to a junkyard. But the glass was still intact, so he used the car to store firewood. I thought that was brilliant.

Speaking of wood, here’s why I doubt this tent revival idea will gain traction. Someone will send out an email blast saying “It’s time to defend America. We need a bunch of guys to come together and pitch a tent!” And that’ll be the end of that.

But here’s how this issue will really be “solved.” Some company will have a booth at a college job fair. The business will be located in a state like Indiana that’s passed a law allowing discrimination against LGBT persons. The recruiter will grin and then tell some twenty-two year old potential employee “Yeah, we’re located in Indianapolis. It’s a really cool city with…”

And the kid will just walk away.

That’s how this issue will get “solved.”
