Ok, I don’t follow all of this, but was surprised how much of it I do follow. If I keep it up I just might reincarnate as Billy from Family Circus.

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements
involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three R’s:
– Respect for self,
– Respect for others and
– Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a
wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great relationship.
7. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate
steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and
think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for
your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the
current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
14. Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your
love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order
to get it.
19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

WHAT WAS I SAYING ABOUT THE WACKY RIGHT?

The problem with the argument is there is nothing MORALLY wrong with birth control. Why? Because it works one of two ways; either it prevents a sperm from fertilizing an egg or it prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the Uterus (where it needs to go to develop into a child). It has been determined years ago that birth control DOES not induce abortion. Duh.

What I find so silly about the right, and their blogs (except PP) is they do not allow for comments or discussion. But does this really surprise any of us?

UPDATE: (read the last paragraph in this post)

 I stand corrected, you are not WACKY you just are flat wrong.

The difference between squirrels and rats

Hau Mitakiepi:

It is the coldest Night of the Winter tonight. Way below zero around here. I Fall asleep in my warm bed thinking of those stranded, stuck or lost in the cold of the night. I think of my Friends, the Squirrels, who live in the Trees outside my window. Francis Yellow used to remind me: “remember, even though you are at your healthiest, you are really no better off than the most ill of your People”. I used to nod solemnly like I knew something.

Who are the most ill of “my People” then? Those who are called alcoholic, homeless, and unemployed? The most unhealthy are the ones who live in the Trees down by the River like Squirrels? Or are they the ones sitting out a life sentence up on “The Hill” for committing fratricide? The most sick of my Relatives are getting arrested by the wasicu for panhandling in their own Homelands, aren’t they?

The Trees outside my window hold many Squirrels within the roundness of their trunks and limbs. I wonder if they are prepared for this supercold. I want to offer them a warm place, somehow. I want to teach them that they can come to my window when it is really, really cold, and they can crash out here.

As I ponder the thought more and more, I realize that my Noble Friend the Squirrel would become nothing more than pretty rats if I domesticated them…if I erased their Original Instructions…if I altered their Sacred(powerful) Path(way of being). I realize The Squirrel would never accept the periphery of wasicu society like the rat does. The Squirrel would never choose the warmth of the fringes of fat-taking over the cold of the Trees. They would rather freeze in Health than slumber in disease.

The most ill of “my People”, then, are those who are warm in a bed. They are the ones with enough breathing room to consider who is or isn’t “the most ill”. I am one of those made sick by comfort. I am one struck lame by warmth and health.
