7/2 Time Out Tues. Vol 6.

hosted by AOA


1) It is one thing to recognize that problems come from the lack of morality. It is another thing entirely to legislate it. Rick Santorum is not going to legislate morality as president. Contraception will not be banned, Sodomy will not be banned. Anything restricting rights will not be banned. The problem is that people treat contraception as a right when it is not. (It is a commodity). Abortion is the denial of life, so yes, that could be banned. The following are not rights: marriage, contraception, Abortion, extra-ordinary means of health care, and should not be treated as rights....

2) Some people do not realize how much that I care for them. I don't just say the things that I say for my own benefit. I say what needs to be said because ultimately I care about my friends and their well being. I just often wish, they'd listen more often to the advice that I give them. Especially when I've proven myself to be right on more than one occasion.

3) Youtube....thank God for it. I've found some of my favourite old cartoons as a kid.

7/2) Lent 2012 = Epic fail...fortunately there's time to keep going :)....Explain more later.

7/2 Time-out Tues Vol. 6 The "sin" tuesday...edition

LarryD at AOA hosts this:






1. Well, as all of you know tomorrow is Ash Weds. I have dubbed the day sin tuesday. Aka, do everything you're going to give up for Lent, then not do it for 40 days, then get right back into the habit (Sundays exclued). Of course this is not what Lent is about. It's about purification and striving for heaven. But I'm still going out for happy hour tonight :p

2. I locked myself out of my house last night...by accident...I'm okay....thanks be to God for friends out here.

3. Not giving up social networks or anything. It's actual penance to be on them

7/2. I have turned in my passport application....Now to fill out Russian Visa application...oh boy.

Thought of the day...

You have to be a complete idiot to think that Rick Santorum is going to legislate morality. It is one thing to recognize the fact that our problems have been caused by a lack of morality. It is another thing entirely to legislate such behaviour. Contraception will not be banned in his administration. The role of the government is to protect our natural rights: life, liberty and the pursuit (not obtainment thereof) of happiness. Let me translate this for you:

There will not by any of the following:

1) Laws banning contraception
2) Anti-Sodomy Laws

There could possibly be:

1) Laws banning abortion (As abortion is murder, role of the government is to protect life)
2) Laws defining life beginning at conception (A scientific fact)

As I have stated on this blog before, I don't think the state should marry ANYONE (straight or homosexual), Marriages should be left to religious institutions alone.
