Being thankful
So I was thinking today about how good we have it...we, as in, Americans. Kristin, my co-worker, and I were discussing a case we have that involves Islamic Marriage Laws and that in turn, sparked a discussion about the way other countries work. Neither of us could imagine growing up in a country where it is expected of women to obey the men and not to form their own opinions. Not only that but we were thinking what it would be like not to have the modern conveinances we are used like say Supermarket's. I know this is going to sound superficial but I don't know if I could go without flushing toilets or showers. I know there are people in this country who are without these luxiouries but I just can't imagine entire cities where these things don't exist. I think I'll be a little less irritated next time I flip channels on my TV and check my TiVo and find nothing is on...at least I have a TV and channels to flip through.
