Why do you feel like arguing so much today Whoot.

I believe marriage is between a man and a woman, and no I wouldn't go with your idea of only one per lifetime...

Homosexuals can have a civil union if they like, I don't really care.

I choose to be loved by a strong man, my  husband.  :)   Its the only way to have kids, and I was born to love kids...

I forgot what else we were talking about.........The only homosexual that I personally know is also against gay marriage...   go figure. 

Here is my common sense aproach to the gay marriage ban and sanctity of marriage arguement.

You are allowed to have one marriage. In your life. Between man and woman. This means you can only marry someone who has never been married before including widows. This will preserve the sanctity of marriage.

Right now there is no sanctity in marriage. All one needs do is hire a lawyer and get a divorce. They can remarry whenever they want. Where is the sanctity in that? Seriously get real.

Anyone else will receive a civil union. Period. Nation wide. Federal rule.

How can you argue that? Can you? You have no stone to stand on.

Oh while we are on that subject killer tillers killers trial almost took a radical curve ball into truth and reality when his defense became he took someones life to save<stop imminent death.

Roeder has said he believes what he did was necessary to protect the lives of the unborn.

The judge ruled this could not be a defense. http://www.slate.com/id/2241426/

I am pro choice , although like most americans I do believe it is murder if the child could be born and survive on its own without the mother. If the fetus is viable it is murder. Therfore in this case I do believe his defense was justifiable and completely reasonable. Tiller was one of under a hand full of abortion providers who performed late term abortions.

If it was allowed to go through it would have shed an incredibly bright light on abortion and possibly turned some crank handles to gear up the reality of birth control as the only solution to prevent abortion. The other side is pushing too hard for abstinance and digging its heels in at every turn against planned parenthood. It needs to stop and we need to take down these walls and baracades against the realism and solution to these genocides.

OOOH Kaaaay...

Now, back to healthcare.   The prez want to get the republicans involved now.. THE REPUBLICANS BEST NOT!   It can be used against them just to be there.   I would say, yes, but not on TV...

Obama hasn't changed his mind about it,  so we best be careful.

My question is they say to afford to remove the pre existing conditions payment excemptions everyone needs to have health insurance. How can that work if there are thousands of healthcare insurance coverers like we need for compitition in rates?

I just don't feel like it can work. I think we need one program that everyone pays in on through their taxes pre tax wages, the people who can't afford it are subsidized by taxes. What will that help if everyone is paying in to thousands of different programs. Sopme programs will have huge profits and some will have deficits and go out of business. There is no way to proportionately know who will get the sick people and who will not. It won't statistically spread evenly. Unless there was a centralized fund for profits that get spread equally among companies, and there was a new business model set up where they are only allowed administrative costs and illness prevention and duplicate cost savings healthcare reform based profit margains, and the excess goes into the fund for catastrophic illness payments. These then would be considered non profit healthcare insurance organizations.

It just doesn't make sense to keep it privatized and have a capaitalistic free market compitition premium based healthcare system. Anywhere. It won't work anywhere.

Hate to admitt this (even to myself) but seeing the snow in your pctures makes me lonesome for home.  Yikes!!  I know it is only because we are pretty much here and not getting out much.  He can't stand to sit much so even over to my aunts house is torchure.   Oh well, gonna go out and so yard work today.  That should make me feel better.  I know it is also that i am not satisfying my emothions with food.  That is a big part of it.  I am telling you guys all this cause I don't want to tell anyone else who will worry about me.  I am really fine, I am coping but not without effort.  Have to learn how to deal with emothions some day.  Might just as well be this day, right?  Will check in     Later!

WHOOT,  I am having trouble with my password, can you help me out?

Hi Ladies.  Yes, care... great game.

Today is the kids  100th day, so they need to try and dress very old... So the 6 yr old went in his flannel shirt, highwater jeans and put a bit of white flour in his very dark black hair.   Cute.

My parents and several sisters (and families) are without power.  Ohio and Pennsylvania got 12 inches of heavy snow, so so many are without electricity.

We are fine in NC, just got alot of rain, nothing else. 

All is well, today is my son JASONS  33 birthday.  Hard to believe.  He was the easiest of the 3 kids.  I think it was 5 hrs from    first contraction till I held him.   Such a sweetheart.

Hope you are all well.

Care, hope your job works out....

Theresa, hey girl.

Si ko.. Curly.... big hey.. :)
