Birth control is NOT abortion.

I don’t care if you’re dem or repub, Bush is being an ass with this one. He’s trying to say birth control counts as abortion.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Dwandeesha or Peggy-Sue having their 5th kid on my frickin tax dollars because they weren’t on the pill.

Lack of birth control will not make the world a more abstinent place. We’ll just be even more over-crowded because sex is too much fun to pull out every time and condoms are not 100% effective 100% of the time. It’s just a fact..

And it’s not even just about welfare. I have one kid in my flippin belly now and as a soon to be married woman, I don’t plan on ever getting pregnant again. We have an heir and no need for a spare lest we feel the need to adopt a girl. Key word: ADOPT.

There are plenty of people who choose to not have children OR to just adopt one that’s already here. I say high five to that.

Whatever your reason for being pro-birth control, just sign the thing and help put an end to this nonsense.

Birth control is NOT abortion.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

That can go for so many things. The first that pop to mind are larger issues like global warming, recycling, the AIDS epidemic, animal cruelty, child labor, domestic violence… the list goes on.

I feel like there are so many things that bother me but there’s next to no point in talking because nothing happens. Repetitive complaining doesn’t do much good, if any at all. I can’t go punching and kicking every person who pisses me of. There’s only so much that can be sorted out verbally and I’m all out of nice and polite.

Back to my point. Sometimes I agree with that quote, but these days I don’t see the point opening my mouth. It tends to be a waste of time.

The Value of Anger

“As an emotion, anger gets a bad rap in our culture. We are supposed to avoid being angry. We associate anger with aggression, violence, domination, and oppression. People who are angry are often judged as irrational. In the world of therapy, we say that someone is ‘reactive’ and their reactivity is tied to earlier, unresolved issues. We also talk about anger as a secondary or defensive emotion, covering up more vulnerable primary emotions such as sadness, fear, and shame. So, our culture develops the message that anger is a negative emotion, a morally questionable emotion, and a lesser (’secondary’) emotion than other emotions we might feel. We start feeling ashamed to feel anger and feel like we need to control our anger.”

- Matthew S. Burgess Leary, PhD

My bus driver got a great surprise this morning.

Near the end of our run, his wife and daughter were waiting for him. When he stoppped to let some passengers go, his daughter ran on the bus, jumped on his lap, and gave him a huge hug. They were so adorable. She was good and ran off the bus shortly after and waved goodbye with her Mama. It was just cute all around. He was beaming the rest of the ride. It’s a great way to start your day.
