Just a few things running through my head, inspired by an earlier conversation ( Read more... )

So far, in all the years I've had this journal I've never made a serious effort to relate my views on the whole gay-marriage debate. Mostly because I'm afraid I'll do a poor job of expressing such passionate opinions and also because...I just don't understand it ( Read more... )

A flawed ideology brought to its illogical destructive conclusion? The slaying of innocent people? Oh, wait. Abortionists aren't innocent, are they? They're SINNERS ( Read more... )

Many in this country will see a conservative defeat as further proof that the sinners are taking over and the world is slipping closer to the ( Read more... )

For those who don't know, I quit smoking several months ago. Once I made the decision to do so it was relatively easy. Mostly I'm just stubborn and don't like the idea of being beaten by a goddamn chemical. So score one for willpower ( Read more... )
