Sacred, Sacred


I have to believe, to live in the United States, "I could be wrong." I could be wrong. I have to say it because I have such a negative and horrible opinion of all Republicans. They start wars, encourage insurrection, drive us into debt as a nation, refuse to tax the billionaires that bribe them. They voted to keep secrets for pedophiles, which made support politicians who have committed this great evil. 

But I really want to have actual unity; it doesn't mean I don't speak my mind.

A Republican might consider me a "baby-killer" because I am pro-choice. So maybe they are wrong as well.

I truly think that the reproductive capacity of women is so sacred, you must not have the use of force involved in this part of our bodies. That is what government is, ultimately, the use of force.

Our founding documents mention "sacred, sacred honor" but this sacred area of a woman's body is being dishonored, not only through rape and objectification; but the suggestion that power mongers (which our political process raises to the top) are better judges of how to use my reproductive organs than I am.

This is not to say I don't enjoy the book. I do. I like the main character Carrie (hope she's not the villian); and enjoy the warm narrator voice.  In fact have re-listened to the chapters several times. I feel like this book will build to an exciting conclusion, and want to enjoy the excitement of the conclusion; I...

Drive-thru voting in Racine, Wisconsin this past April. Why Republicans insisted on in-person voting in the middle of a pandemic escapes me. Anyway, it was a Democratic primary and a Democratic candidate for Supreme Court was on the ballot. She won anyway. I would hate to think Robin Vos exploited the pandemic to suppress the vote. Most places did not have drive-thru voting. There were many COVID infections associated with voting on that day.
