Calla's Second Post

I have to write in this every every day because that is the only way this blog will be fun. I could write about the V.P. debate from yesterday. . . But that doesn't sound like a good idea because I don't really have much interesting to say about it. I am, however, happy that neither of the candidates made complete fools of themselves (as they are apt to do.) I can't handle watching another person suffer. . . even if it is a person like Sarah Palin who is a little bit nutty. . and even if I am using the term 'suffer' loosely. ('cause I am using it to mean 'be embarrassed' in this context) See, this is not a good idea.

In the past I sometimes had interesting comments to make. Like when McCain and Obama were asked when a baby receives human rights. . . and that was a quite strange question. See, if I were asked that question I would have said one of two things. . .
number 1: when it becomes a baby. . . duh.
Number 2: Since when is this country concerned about human rights in general. . . We do not award ALL human rights to EVERYone; we are much more strictly concerned with the human rights of U.S. American Citizens. In the U.S. constitution it clearly states a U.S.A. citizen is born or naturalized here. . . a fetus/baby is not BORN or NATURALIZED on U.S. soil. . . Until prisoners at Gitmo are awarded the same basic rights as U.S. citizens, why should we award those rights to premature people who are also not U.S. citizens?

All this being said, I truly despise abortion like it is the grossest injustice ever. (To women and premature women/men) Tell me how it is a choice when a college student gets pregnant and will have to drop out of school because. . . 1) there is no parenting-student housing available to her 2) and she cannot afford to go to school part-time because she will lose her financial aid but can no longer attend full time because she has to work full time 3) but will lose her health insurance if she doesn't go to school full time, complicating that whole giving-birth-in-a-hospital thing 4) and was never educated about birth control thoroughly in the first place 5) and cannot get reasonably priced day care 6) and has recommendations about abortion clinics, but not resources for single young mothers. . . and well, you get the point. . . So basically, the U.S. government needs to fix all this stupidness (including dead beat fathers [once again, using a term loosley] and what not) so that we can actually reduce the number of abortions. People are so dumb. Women deserve a choice. . . not being forced into having an abortion because they feel like they have no other options. Abortions should be nonexistent because they are unnecessary, not because they are illegal. (And really, they should be unnecessary. Get on it government.)

So that was fun and entertaining. . . And weird of me. . . But lots of stuff is weird of me lots of the time.

Christin sent me an online survey like we were twelve again:

This is fun because it's like we're in middle school again! hahaha

Here is a fun and quick way to stay in touch.
Let's see how many I get back...

Four, Four, Four, Four, Four, Four

A) Four places that I go to over and over.

D) Four places I would rather be right now:
Somewhere warm, somewhere sunny, somewhere hot, somewhere where it's Christmas time
E) Four people I think will respond:
Um. . . I can't even think of four people to send this to. (As you can maybe tell by my people who e-mail me section)
F) Four TV shows I watch
