Social conscience

Why is it that as a culture we are more comfortable
seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?

The American health care system:
A disabled woman begs in front of a for-profit pharmacy that targets low-income people.
(Mission Street, Mission District, San Francisco)

A Jewish woman holds a sign expressing her feelings about the Israeli ground invasion
of Gaza at a demonstration on Market Street. (San Francisco, California)

Face of Hate says: "Homosexuals are a threat to National Security",
Bible in hand.

House Committee on Ways & Means - Republican

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:41:07 -0800

As always, a blatant lie from the knuckeldragging right wingers.
I am yet to see them posting the truth about ANYTHING.

"Matt Drudge and WorldNetDaily.com both falsely asserted that, in Drudge's words, the House health care reform bill states that people must "buy a $15,000 policy or go to jail." In fact, as stated by the Joint Committee on Taxation letter on which Drudge's and WND's claims are based, the bill does not impose criminal penalties on people merely for failing to purchase health insurance; rather, people who do not buy health insurance and also willfully refuse to pay the tax imposed on them for such actions can face civil or criminal penalties."

Broadway, here we come!

I nominate Cher to play the role of Jesus.
After all, she has a daughter who changed gender so she will be perfect.

Health Care PASSES: The Scene In The House When It Happened

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:43:26 -0800

It's a historical step in the right direction and certainly a victory.
I was on pins and needles and watched the whole debate.

What I heard from the Republicans was $$$$$$ and for the Democrats was human suffering.

Pathetic that it MANDATED that insurance companies who participate in the new exchange
- every one of them - will NOT pay for abortions.

Rape, incest - you name it - it doesn't get paid.

The 39 defectors who voted against it will be remembered.
Come next election, we will do everything possible to eliminate them from power.

Today I feel
completely washed out
tired and listless

I wish it was due to something
more exciting than
food poisoning

too tired to lie down
or to sit up

As always I could hardly breathe while I read this account of Madrosemama's account
of her abusive realtionship.

She came out a whole woman - what an inspiration.

Heather, there is a Spanish saying that goes like this:

There will always be a bowl of soup and a blanket for you in my home.

Is Fort Hood A Harbinger? Nidal Malik Hasan May Be A Symptom of a Military On the Brink - The Human Condition Blog - Newsweek.com

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:37:45 -0800

Major Hasan never went to war but was obviously effected by treating the soldiers that did.

I think the military is stretched to the limit right now. It will only get worse.

2010 Soccer World Cup Animal Sacrifice Planned & The Word Wright

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:05:30 -0800

South Africa is considering an application by `Traditional Leaders' to
sacrifice animals at the 2010 FIFA Soccer World cup scheduled to take place
in June of next year.

The Youtube video in the link is NOT suitable for sensitive viewers.

The FIFA Soccer World Cup is unarguably the premier football event internationally
and probably the most watched sporting event in the world.
The upcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup is set to take place between the 11th of June
and the 11th of July next year in South Africa.

Here is how the ritual happens:

Here is how it happens:

The cow's legs are tethered together and she is flipped on her side.
You can hear her moaning. She is held down by two or three people while a fourth
one is standing by with a small dish and a fifth person wields the knife.
They slit her throat, but the animal does not die. She screams and struggles,
trying to throw off her assailant. He stumbles backwards and comes for her again,
cutting some more. Her eyelids are still batting and her eyes are filled with panic
and fear as he hacks away at her throat. She continues struggling weakly
as the man with the dish approaches her to catch the blood spurting from her arteries.
She still is not dead.
There is no post- or pre-incision stunning.

Please sign this petition to stop this brutal ritual:
