A week ago I attended a debate hosted by the Committee for Future El Paso in (you guessed it!) El Paso, TX to hear
arguments on the separation of church and state. It was very timely, as I had
recently found myself in a couple of different robust (and petty) Twitter kerfuffles over
the matter. So I was interested to see how closely the debate would mirror the
conversations I had been having, and I was eager to hear other arguments from
both sides that I had never heard, as well as maybe some elaboration on
points that I am already familiar with.
What I got instead was a front-row seat to an utter
clusterfuck wrought with meandering segue after irrelevant segue marked by a
complete lack of consideration, decorum and organization. Mind you, this was
mostly due to only one of the debators. I will let you guess which one.
I could rant for a long time on this (there is plenty of material to work with), but I think the debate
will speak best (or otherwise) for itself. So, without further ado, I give you, David Marcus
and be-stubbled Alec Baldwin doppleganger, Bishop Tom Brown.
(If you want to skip straight to the debate, it starts about
6 minutes in. I really didn’t mind the opening statements, it’s everything
after that.)
