Given the choices that I have made, both in how I choose to live my life and how I educate my children, people would expect me to have many battles to fight. This is not the case. I live very peacefully. This is mostly due to my great denial skills and my “I appreciate your opinion but this is my life” attitude. As some of you may already know, I do have one area of strife in my life and I can’t seem to shake it. No, it is not my tomato fetish. I’m over that. Mostly. The thorn in my side is and always has been the fundies.

They swarm me at the grocery store, they put flyers in my mailbox, and they buzz around my ears with opinions that scare me. I’m not even going to mention the aesthetics of a denim jumper. I’ve put up with it for years and have alternated between anger, frustration, and pity. But I have grown and matured (a little) and today I find the whole fundie belief system has become a slight nuisance. Nothing more, nothing less. But, I do reserve the right to verbally attack when they push me too far.

So, today I sorted through mail and found a flyer for the hazardous waste collection day at our local landfill. I scanned the listed items and about half way through my jaw dropped and my eyes opened wide. I couldn’t believe what I saw.

FUNDICIDE!

They were collecting fundicide – a substance used to destroy or inhibit the growth of irrational fundamentalism. (Definition taken from my imaginary dictionary) I didn’t even know this stuff existed. Why has no one ever told me about this stuff? I could have put it to good use.

I was gonna make a picture to go with this but I’m not in the mood. Maybe later. Maybe not. I just checked and I haven’t made a picture for anything since July. I suck.
