100,000 Gay Kids Secretly Watch Ellen � Margaret and Helen
100,000 Gay Kids Secretly Watch Ellen � Margaret and Helen
Those are alarming statements and positions because all of them are based on the candidate’s personal
religious beliefs and yet all of them would have devastating effects on millions of American citizens who
might not share those same beliefs. I’m pretty sure letting gay people get married isn’t going to stop
Rick Santorum or any of those million moms from following their faith. And it would be nice if those Bishops
would realize having insurance coverage doesn’t mean you have to use birth control.

UC Davis Pepper-Spray Incident Reveals Weakness Up Top | Matt Taibbi | Rolling Stone
UC Davis Pepper-Spray Incident Reveals Weakness Up Top | Matt Taibbi | Rolling Stone
Again, when we abandoned our principles in order to use force against terrorists and drug dealers,
the answer to the question, What are we defending? started to change.
The original answer, ostensibly, was, "We are defending the peaceful and law-abiding citizens of the
United States, their principles, and everything America stands for."
Then after a while it became, "We’re defending the current population of the country, but we can’t
defend the principles so much anymore, because they weigh us down in the fight against a ruthless
enemy who must be stopped at all costs."
Then finally it became this: “We are defending ourselves, against the citizens who insist on keeping
their rights and their principles.”

Gaming American Democracy: | John Dean | Verdict | Legal Analysis and Commentary from Justia
Gaming American Democracy: | John Dean | Verdict | Legal Analysis and Commentary from Justia
Resolving the legality of the barrage of new election laws will be costly,
and will take decades. Meanwhile, Republicans will have gained and taken their
unfair advantage, which will likely only encourage them to further game the system.
It’s the way they now play the game, and while it may be nasty and even un-American,
they could care less, as long as they are winning.
CANNOT let them win. Occupy.

a dream
Bekah was there. it was one of those dreams where
i didn't know she was dead. others were there and they
kept coming, and i had to get to work. well let's just
say it was getting later and later and i needed to
call in to work to let them know i would be late.
but i could not remember the number. i grew more
and more frantic. i remembered the area code, but
could not recall the number to save my life. and
was getting so distraught you would think it was
going to kill me.
i woke up from this nightmare and shouted out my
number at work. literally.
then later i tried to fathom what it means about Bekah,
about me not knowing she was dead in this dream. dreams
come both ways. but the ones where i do not know she
is dead tend to disturb me somehow.
