cripes - i almost forgot

almost forgot to do this.

today's rant is this - they tried to pass a resolution that would condemn what was done to dr. tiller. to just say violence is not an okay means to accomplish your ends. it was blocked. there were no added jail times attached to it - no penalties. nothing. just a statement to say, bad idea. i know there are peole who believe that killing abortion doctors is jusitifiable. honestly, i get the sentiment. if i thought abortion was equivalent to murder i might feel the same way. but every one could find their own damned reason to kill others. which is exactly the reason i can not abide the death penalty but at least with the death enalty there is a consensus not an individual's will. at the very least these people could condemn killing people in FREAKING CHURCH!!

here's the article if you are interested - i'm sure you aren't, sigh http://shaheen.senate.gov/news/press/release/?id=81f40de1-8882-4dfb-ac55-9055caa7d3ef
this is the resolution
(1) Expresses great sympathy for the family, friends and patients of Dr. George Tiller;
(2) Recognizes that acts of violence should never be used to prevent women from receiving reproductive health care; and
(3) Condemns the use of violence as a means of resolving differences of opinion.

i'm sure you can see the controversy

i swear i really would have preferred to not live in such puritanical times. i hope for more sanity for my child.

so no yard sale again tomorrow with all the rain. i must get all this shit out of my house.

migraine migraine migraine - - good chat.
