AN INTRODUCTION...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Retired, but not too retiring, a work still in progress.
I enjoy many things: Music (making it & appreciating it), balance (within myself, in my relationships, and in my world), Tai Chi (practicing & teaching), cooking (especially for friends), Dancing, Karaoke!, teaching, mentoring, reading, some crafts...and trying daring things on my birthdays.
I've been single, married, now widowed, but not forever.
I thought I was straight; found out I'm not; am happy about it.
Believed in God, then god, then Universe; now happy not knowing and just being stardust until or unless I find out differently.
Stepping around a Value
As a matter of principle, I decided some time ago to stand FOR things, not to struggle AGAINST things; to compliment rather than criticize; to support rather than to fight; to love rather than hate.
I'm compelled, however, to provide a link to you from one of my favorite bloggers, Ronni Bennett. This post is all about a new Senate Bill, S.1959, dubbed The Thought Crime Bill. I encourage you to read it and, perhaps, read several of the posts (both hers and others') at this category link. If you're fond of the freedoms you were granted by our Constitution, you may want to become involved before it is too late. If you believe in national karma...well...hmmm...
Here is a link to the text of the bill.
When this bill went thru the House, only 6 representatives voted against it.
What did your presidential hopeful do?
Find out.
Read, be aware, search your heart, take action when/where you can/will.
Look at your values, decide for yourself.
And since we're on the subject, remember this site: FactCheck.org. It's a prize-winning site of great value. Another link to it resides in the sidebar here under Sites to See.
