Satanic Panic

I thought satanic panic died out in the 70s and witch hunts were outlawed centuries ago. Though I have very little faith in humanity, I had begun to think that maybe, just maybe, we had evolved to a level of intelligence high enough to understand diversity and prevent primitive belief systems from disrupting an objective view of the world around us.

But apparently that is not the case.

My wife, Stacy Hintz, has been passionately leading our daughter's Girl Scout troop since she entered kindergarten four years ago. She strove to teach the girls to be strong, caring and confident. She organized activities to help the community and teach the girls the value of selflessness. She took on many volunteer positions throughout the school and Girl Scouts that no one else wanted to do, because otherwise no one would have done them. She was chosen to represent Girl Scouts at the national 100-year anniversary convention in Austin, TX. She was praised by parents and representatives of Girl Scouts throughout all levels of the organization for her hard work, dedication and accomplishments. All while we struggled to pay our bills and keep gas in the car due to the time consumed by these volunteer responsibilities.

But it seems that, just recently, a few parents from the troop have become aware of her involvement with Wisconsin Sickness, despite the fact that she has never concealed it, and has been nothing but transparent about who she is and what she does.

She was asked to meet with the co-leader of the troop today, a woman who previously praised my wife for everything she did, with the expectation that Stacy would voluntarily step down from all involvement with the troop, including attending outings with our daughter, because she was clearly evil and involved in demonic activities.

This woman even brought a Bible to the meeting.

She was offended by the presence of Ed Gein on the site. Nate's article that mentions all the porn stores here in Wisconsin is offensive. Examining the presence of evil in the human mind must mean you're working for the devil. She even pointed out that Wisconsin contains the word sin.

This woman claims that, as a big a part of her life as Wisconsin Sickness is, it must ripple into all other parts of life, though she could not name anything in particular besides being late to two meetings. Anyone who knows Stacy knows she is late to everything all the time and it has nothing to do with her work. It has everything to do with her having more responsibilities in her volunteer work than she has time to keep track of. Poor punctuality is not the work of the devil.

Wisconsin Sickness began in 2007, years before Stacy became a Girl Scout leader. Prior to that I ran the original Mental Shed, my website made famous by photoshopped zombie porn, amputees and my daily satiric writings of self-deprecation and social commentary, which launched in 2002. Poor taste? Yes. That was the point. Did we hurt anyone? Were we worshipping Satan and exposing children to pornography? Nope. We were, and continue to be, good people leading good lives, teaching our children to be strong, compassionate and well-mannered individuals. My family is ridiculously poor, yet we continuously strive to help others, living our lives selflessly in pursuit of some greater good.

No different than the Wisconsin Sickness fans and contributors who are also involved in Girl Scouts, the PTO, and throughout this and many other communities. We are everywhere, spreading like an infection just under the diseased skin of your pretty, meaningless lives.
