Abortion and life

Why in liberal circles is there this pressure to be so nonchalant about abortion - like it's akin to getting a haircut? It's like you can't be pro-choice and still recognize that it is a deeply serious & difficult decision. Pro-choice, not easy choice ...

Overcoming anger – Resisting the urge to scratch

I think everyone has a "go to" emotion. Mine is anger. Stuck in traffic, stress at work, bad night's sleep, things don't go my way – disappointment, sadness, frustration, it all devolves into anger for me. It's been that way my whole life. I get bitchy... I get punchy. I want to kick and bite and scream. I remember when I was still a child, I had a child-size carpenter tool set (real ...

36 inches, please…

History shows us time & again that concentrated unchecked power is dangerous for all! It's your responsibility to maintain ...

People’s Veto…

I believe there should be a "People's Veto." So if our government tries to fuck us, we can metaphorically kick them in the balls. Representative democracy is at best, outdated. At worst, flawed. People need to be directly involved in their governments. Indefinite detention? *kick in the balls* SOPA? *kick in the balls* Giving Trillions to Billionaires? *kick in the balls* #PeoplesVeto #ows ...
