Opinion: In California, No Acts of God Allowed

Advertising

The Dept. of Energy, and the State of California don't like God. Or, perhaps they are simply afraid of the aetheists who are always finding a way to dishonor and attempting to remove God from every aspect of our lives and our form of governemnt. How do I know that you may ask?
Aside from the homosexual marriage actions of the socialist judiciary in California?

As a contractor, I was looking through a Dept. of Energy contract administered in the Late Great State of California by a Dept of the State and pondering my possible involvement.

The contract has been an ongoing process for twenty some odd years, the point of which is to "weatherize" low income housing units in the State. For the most part, it is a way to bring the homes up to snuff in the area of Energy Efficiency.

Repairing windows, doors or heating and cooling appliances for those folks who are either just to poor to manage the process on their own, or for those who are the working poor. They have a job, but it just doesn't pay enough to actually allow them to perform all of the upkeep on a home which all homeowners know is required.

The contract being offered to all contractors with an interest in working tin the program has changes every year. This year a change in the language has occurred. The relevant passage is as follows (taken directly from the contract)

Weatherization services for a dwelling unit previously weatherized

using DOE (Dept of Energy) funds are not allowable EXCEPT if:

i) A dwelling unit has been damaged by fire, flood, or act of

(God) nature and repair of the damage to weatherization

materials is not paid for by insurance;

In the original contract, the word God has been struck through to note that it is being removed and the word nature has been added (in bold) to note an addition.

On the face of it, it's not a big thing by any means. God does not require validation from the State of California for His existence.
But it does serve as just another reminder of the road this nation is going down.

Gay marrage, child rapists protected from the death penalty (when they should be tortured to death instead) a need to fight the courts to maintain the Right to bear arms, non citizen non combatant terrorists being granted the right to their day in our courts, and the numerous instances every single day we all see around us of a country intent on committing suicide.

In centuries of the past, those of us who don't like what we see would leave and go to a different continent and start over again. That is no longer an option, and may not be for another thirty, fifty or hundred years, when mankind may be able to try the process on a different planetary body circling the same or a different star.

Makes me think of cryogenics more fondly. Especially if I could talk every member of the current CONgress to go first.
