to get my mind off of work, I decided to finally put my feelings out there on some "hot issues" here on Xanga. This is, in no way, an attempt to get more traffic. Honestly, I like my readers, they like me, and we're great. I would love more readers, don't get me wrong. But I don't think that's why I'm here. ANYWAY!
What are my feelings on Abortion? Well, I would never do it, and I will never understand how someone could make that decision.. But that's just it. I don't understand. It's not my job to decide whether or not someone can decide to do that. Making abortion illegal would only produce more deaths. I would rather a friend of mine have a safe abortion, than do it underground and die from infection or internal bleeding. Like I said, I do not approve of the act, but it's not my choice. Ideally, I wish that every child brought into this world had two loving parents (with no specific combination of gender) to raise and love them. But the world isn't perfect, and children don't always end up in the best families for them. Bottom line, forcing my religion, opinions, or feelings on the rest of the nation is not why so many men and women have died defending this country.
Gay marriage? Same thing. I don't necessarily agree with their lifestyle, but it's not my decision whether or not they can get married. And as far as I'm concerned, that's one more couple who can adopt a child and keep them out of the foster care system. Am I ok with schools teaching my kids that homosexuality is ok? Seriously, I am in charge of teaching my kids what I want to teach them. I would rather my kids learn that at school and get the full circle of the situation so they can make the decision themselves. I won't rely on public (or private, for that matter) schools to teach my kids everything. Getting different opinions will, in my eyes, make it so that I can talk with my kids and not just talk at them. I want my kids to make educated decisions about their world, not just take whatever is handed to them either by the world or by me.
Again, this is just my attempt at keeping my mind off of work. I'm not trying to stir up trouble or get a rise out of anyone. These are my opinions and I'm not going to get mad if someone disagrees. That's part of life, and I'm learning that even more these days. Things aren't peachy, but that doesn't mean I can't make myself happy with other things.
In other news, a lady who was absent all week (with the flu) came back to work and I really missed her! She just brightens up everything and I am feeling a little better today. I shouldn't rely on her to make my workday better, but it doesn't hurt, right? YAY for happy coworkers! Also, I bought a hat last night at Ross and I am loving it. I haven't bought anything in so long, I deserved something (only $6!) and it felt great! Maybe a photo will follow later on, can't find my camera charger... BUH BYE!
