Why is it...
- that the women who work as church receptionists are some of the biggest bitches I've ever met?
- that people smoke in their cars with the windows rolled up and kids in carseats behind them?
- that the woman I saw doing the above on ELECTION day here in VIRGINIA also had a license plate (not bumpersticker) that read "1mn1wmn" = "one man one woman" and a "choose life, don't be a murderer" bumpersticker...(we had a ballot amendment the so called "marriage amendment" to change the state constitution to define marriage as one man and one woman)
- that there are so many bigots, even some people I thought I knew pretty well?
- that people in Africa will stand in line to vote for 28 hours straight just to have the chance, but here in VA a woman gets on the radio to rant that she just doesn't have the time to wait in a 45 minute line, you know she has errands to do and all?
-that the woman from the above doesn't realize that women were beaten for wanting to vote in our country less than 100 years ago, and they fought and took it until they got that right for themselves and for her?!?!
- that guns and drugs are cheaper than most of my hospital co-pays?
Ok, I'm done, I just heard Allen is conceding to Webb...I'll be ok, off the soapbox

Go Webb, go! Please don't disappoint.
Don't talk to me about co-pays. I just paid yet another one yesterday at Nazigreen's. The line at the drive-thru was SO LONG, I parked and went inside...only to stand on line. *sigh* And hand over my Rx co-pay. I feel your pain, sister.
Good questions. I'm right there with you. Go Webb! I think we should thank all you Virginians who voted for Webb, because it was such a close race and you saved us all from another Republican-majority senate.
yeah funny thing about church ladies, hey?
an excerpt from this story
"According to Statistics Canada, while more than 80 per cent of Canadians say they believe in God, less than 19 per cent attend a place of worship regularly.
Dr. Howard [of the United Church of Canada], who is based in Victoria, said the church spent more than a year to research why people, particularly those between the ages of 30 and 45, have been turned off by organized religion.
It found there's a perception among many that followers of established churches are judgmental, arrogant and unwilling to listen."
on the election stuff...
you know where i stand. we fought the fight for free universal medical care over 60 years ago, and had another one 40 years ago and are still fighting
as someone viewing the U.S. from the outside (even with ALL the channels) it's good to hear voices of reason, like yours, unlike what comes over the news most days.
Ditto what Weigook Saram said about the voting . . . we have you Democrats in VA to thank for getting control of the Senate. Yay! Good work!
yaaaay, no more senator macaca!!
Wow, could you be a little more candid, more to the point perhaps, I am unsure of your feelings here?
By the way I am so mad that the whole Marriage Amendment Passed...I am starting to feel the need to lobby the state senate for another amendment...one that states they are all a bunch of assholes for bringing it up in the first place.
Bunch of Angry Elves if you ask me
I love you!!!!!!!!
