I do not understand how fundamentalists do not see how they filter the Bible. They look for the tidbits that they want. They say the Bible is to be believed and not interpreted. However, when you show them passages that is contrary to their believes, they interpreted them. For example, there are passages that support … Continue reading Abortions

The Bill of Life
Faced with a big repair bill for my daughters car, I was doing a lot of self-pitying. Instead of fixing that car, I wanted to spend the money on my classic car- my savings for it is what will end up paying for the car or having some furniture that is not a hand-me-down. Something … Continue reading The Bill of Life
Abortion from Hugs
Sex is not something you can’t live without, but it is a strong drive. There is not something analogous to it because our species need it to survive and thrive. There is judgment in prolifer’s zealousness to end abortion. No, they would not be for it, but if it was not making the beast with … Continue reading Abortion from Hugs
Switching Gears- For real this time
A few post ago I talked about switching gears without actually switching gears. I have a lot to say. I like thinking about it and laying something out. The problem is we do not change each others minds. We invigorate like-minded people and opposite minded people and keep them apart with arguments. So then what … Continue reading Switching Gears- For real this time

Can Trump be what we hope for? I don’t think so. But here is one reason rolling around in my head. We hate career politicians because they say whatever they need to to get elected. Trump is the same way- just more awkwardly so that we think he is sincere- he is actually just more … Continue reading Hope and Spare Change
Changing Gears (Fail)
Changing Gears I have to stop speaking, tweeting, and writing about politics. I must switch gears. Yes, at the same time, I must keep working to stop what I feel is the wrong direction, but I have to step away from this conflict. Will Trump be the solution to our government? First that is misleading. … Continue reading Changing Gears (Fail)
Republicans Are Right
Republicans are not wrong. We have a problem with our government. Corporations have a stranglehold on our country Politicians have to get into bed with too many people and are beholding to too many special interest groups. It is disgusting/ Many, (the ones who swung the votes his way),I think, saw Trump as a way … Continue reading Republicans Are Right
Swamp
I don’t think that drain the swamp was a good analogy. However, I must admit that it was an effective one. People got a visual, it was catchy and people responded to it. It should be a dumb one. Yet a swamp is not a wasteland. It's a rich ecosystem. Not a great place for … Continue reading Swamp
Thanks Obama!
The truth of the matter is that Obama did not require health insurance because he wanted your freedom or to turn us into socialists. It was because of the coverage of preexisting illnesses. Otherwise people would not pay for the insurance until they got sick and then sign up for insurance. That is not a … Continue reading Thanks Obama!
