In fights, I mean. Insulting, hurtful, hostile things “just slip out.” No, they don’t. They’re planned. The person speaking them has thought about them beforehand. That means that they mean them, at least on some level. It’s deceitful to say that “Oh, I didn’t really mean that” after the fact. The fact that the person wanted to...

Dear lady on PBS,
I’m glad you live in Alaska where the environment is clean(ish) and you have enough free time (and money!) to hunt for meat and a boat where you and your husband can fish for salmon.
I do not have any of these things.
Therefore, if you are going to tell me that in order to be healthy and fulfilled I need to live sustainably and eat locally I really thing you...

me too. Your message to me about the following? shows up in my email, but not in my messages here on the site. We can only presume that Tumblr is going all “Exorcist” again. At least my computer isn’t spitting pea soup at me @.@

Joe Rehyansky, a part-time magistrate and Vietnam veteran, wrote on conservative news site The Daily Caller that lesbians should be allowed to serve in the military because straight male soldiers could “convert” them.
The Daily Caller swiftly removed some of his remarks but not before they were picked up by other websites.
Mr Rehyansky, of...
In Banning Sharia Law, Oklahoma Voters May Have... →
Oklahoma voters recently celebrated the novelty of becoming the first state to ban the non-existent threat of Sharia law. Under the “Save Our State” constitutional amendment, Oklahoma courts are forbidden from considering or using international and Sharia law in their rulings. Beyond the obvious First Amendment problems with the law, in their zealous “war” against the phantom Sharia menace,...

the purity of their goals and political ideology, while engaging in activities that clearly muddy the waters in terms of what they are advocating for. You can’t have it both ways. Either you think that the government needs to butt out of personal business, in which case the government needs to get out of the marriage industry and it needs to stop attempting to exert control over pregnancy, or...
Native American Poverty →
Although we have moved beyond wanton neglect and violence, our national response to the problem of poverty in Native American communities remains woefully inadequate. The extent of the problem may not be well known. American Indians and Native Alaskans number 4.5 million. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, these Americans earn a median annual income of $33,627. One in every four (25.3 percent)...

California’s prosecutors, including San Mateo’s District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, are preparing to look into claims of inappropriate touching during the new, more aggressive pat-down procedures at airports that come courtesy of the Transportation Security Administration.

Indian Schools in the United States →
Federal Indian policy makers in the late 1800s and early 1900s sought to use the schoolhouse-specifically the boarding schools-as an instrument for acculturating Indian youth to “American” ways of thinking and living. Only by removing Indian children from their homes for extended periods of time, policy makers reasoned, could white “civilization” take root while childhood memories of “savagism”...

From my petition’s text:
Currently, if a woman is stationed in a country, or is assigned with a sponsor who is stationed in a country where abortion is not legal, then that woman must obtain leave and funding to find a location where she may obtain such services. This restricts access to women who are living on military budgets, and possibly forces her to divulge private medical...

So, this pregnancy thing?
Not big on dignity.
As of right now, I have puked more times in public than I ever have before in my entire life. Sometimes, I end up having to puke as I walk down the street. Pleasant, truly. SO far I have thrown up on a sidewalk while walking at least 4 times, have puked once out of a car window on the highway, and one all over a...
