The Calm before the storm…

..is frighteningly boring.

Out of Control

Things are moving way too fast, like someone double clutched life and I’m in 6th gear with no brakes to speak of.  I’m frightened and terrified at the same time.

It stands!

 

My niece, that is.

Science debunks myth, not the other way around.

It’s funny how most of the people against population control and family planning are middle and upper class christians who fight for moral values and against “the culture” of death.  The propaganda is frightening, in that if you believe in the use of contraceptives you might as well turn yourself in to the police because you’re a murderer.

While it is true that population control will not solve the country’s problems, it’s a necessary component in mitigating the effects of a crippled system.  What good is it to wail against a corrupt government and elite that manage to keep 90-plus percent of the country’s wealth to themselves while at the same time churning out babies like there was no tomorrow?  What point is there in producing another mouth that you cannot feed?

Perhaps they should ask how those most directly affected feel about the situation, the Janitor and the labandera who barely manage to make a living while their kids sell sampaguitas and cigarettes on the streets.  Take your high moral values and sacred right and feed it to them, and see what happens.

brotherhood

When young men die, it ought to be in defense of an ideal, a country, or at worst love or a car accident.  It should never be to gain access to a silly boys’ club.
