Your Morning Cuppa Dizzy: Mmm, Drafty!
This new educational program that I got my kids started on takes up a lot more of my time than in the past (mostly because four more subjects have been added to their daily schedule) and so I try not to get myself too riled up so that I can focus when I sit down with them.
But, it’s kind of hard not to get riled up when you read some nonsense like this: McCain: World War III Would Justify Draft
John McCain said last night during a campaign tele-conference that he would bring back a military draft in the United States only in the case of a ‘World War III’ scenario.
and this: Israel Prodding U.S. To Attack Iran
CBS consultant Michael Oren says Israel doesn’t want to wait for a new administration.
“The Israelis have been assured by the Bush administration that the Bush administration will not allow Iran to nuclearize,” Oren said. “Israelis are uncertain about what would be the policies of the next administration vis-à-vis Iran.”
Here’s my thinking (please, correct me if I’m wrong), if “we” attack Iran, we will be most definitely in a WW3 scenario (if we aren’t already) and Republican presidential hopeful, John McCain, is all “okey-dokey” about starting a draft in case that nonsense happens?
The US Army already has one member of my family, SSG Dizzy, serving in perpertuity (or until the Army thinks he’s too broken–at some distant/future date, thank goodness–to serve). But, I have a child who is almost 19 years old and who has no intention of volunteering to become cannon-fodder for GWB and his war-mongering cronies, least of all, John McCain. That means, he could become a pawn in McCain’s draft. And, I gotta tell ya, I’m not feeling that nonsense. No, not one little bit!
You Can Have My Womb When You Rip It From My Cold Dead Body
I am actually stunned and somewhat speechless over the news from Colorado, today. (Warning: “bad words” and cursing lay ahead; not meant for sensitive eyes)
Coloradoans will get to vote on whether or not a fertilized human egg should get the same constitutional rights as a full-term human baby, in November.
This so-called “anti-abortion” measure is an insult to all thinking human beings. It assumes that women are not capable of determining the difference between an egg and a real living baby.
Please note, that the bill is to give a fertilized egg “human” status. Also note, that the egg is fertilized before what doctors consider “conception” transpires (that is, when the egg is implanted in the uterus). Also note, that before “conception” this fertilized egg will most likely be flushed down the toilet before the woman even realizes that “the law” considers her pregnant.
