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

First that is misleading. … Continue reading Changing Gears (Fail)

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

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!
