A Couple Thoughts

Why are some Feminists voting for McCain - just to get Palin into office? Palin will set back the Feminist movement back another 50 years. Palin is not a Feminist, she is a Christian Fundamentalist. Palin wants to take away women's choice with Abortion. Palin wants to teach teens to only practice abstinence - and is against teaching safe sex. Palin thinks homosexuals and lesbians are an abomination to God, and will burn in Hell. And yet, in spite of all this, some Feminists still want Palin to have access to the highest office in the land? Whats the matter with these people? NOTE: Whenever Palin is asked about her views on issues, she always prefaces her statement saying, this is what I personally think, and purposely discusses how she would actually do while in office. This gives her one big loophole to say what she thinks people want to hear, and then do whatever she feels led to do when in office. This is incredibly disingenuous. Why doesn't she just tell people what she will do/strive while in political office?

Relatively speaking, homelessness is a small and insignificant issue. And it could be easily reduced, if not eliminated altogether. But people's reactions to homeless people have cranked up the controversy and thus the media attention. And this controversy arises because the issue of homelessness and it's causes, both real and imagined, strike at the very heart of people's beliefs about life, about citizenship, about God, about ethical behavior. And so many people cannot resist the temptation to pass judgment on the actions of others, especially on the subject of ethical behavior. For many people, it is important that their own behavior be seen as above reproach. And the best way to make that happen is to point out, and cast dispersions on the activities of people who do not act the same way as themselves. A false issue about homelessness is the question as to who would pay for the keeping and rehabilitation of homeless people. Relatively speaking, homelessness is rather inexpensive to fix. For the cost of our military being in Iraq for one month could also house and provide services for every homeless person in the U.S. for an entire year. Yes, with a homeless population at any one time in the U.S. of less than a million people, and the cost of housing and feeding a homeless person being less than $5000 a year...Actually the cost would be less than the 10 billion spent each month in Iraq. Such a program as housing all the homeless would mean that by the end of the year, many people would have found a way out of homelessness, so the next year, there wouldn't be nearly as many homeless in our country, and the cost of the program would be much less.
