Happy Book Banning Week
I was interested to see that this is Banned Book Week. In a country with freedom of speech and expression like the US, you'd think that the idea of banning books would not exist. But sadly, it's here. My opinion: I know that some subjects are not appropriate for certain age groups, and there are subjects that you may disagree with , and that's OK. If you don't like it, DON'T READ IT!!!! If I want to read something, I have the right to do so, without you putting your nose in my affairs. DON'T FORCE YOUR MORALITY ON ME! You take away 1 freedom, and the rest will follow...

The GOP Civil War
Seems like the Republican Party has been hijacked by the extremist of the Tea Party. When you have someone like Utah Senator Bob Bennett, who is probably one of the most conservative members of congress primaried out of his job, you know that the crazies have taken control. The extremists demand that all party members vote in lock step with their demands, and any bit of compromise is seen as a sign of being a sellout. It remains to be seen if the Tea Party is a "Flavor of the month" Fad, if the sane members can regain control, or if the moderates are totally forced out.
If you can't Trust a preacher....
Teacher, coach, or anyone else entrusted with your kids, who can you trust? Those who use their positions of authority to get close to kids in order to commit abuse are the lowest of the low, and need to be prosecuted as severly as possible!
