It has been so long. I feel as though I have abandoned you... I haven't. I'm just busy, busy, busy. This is what I tell my child, and you anyway. Sometimes life is just so hectic that I don't have time to even think... And is there stuff to think about! The airplane that crashed into the sea. This is so sudden and sad; it makes my heart ache. Truly, the lives lost. The families that mourn. The sorrow that fills the sea of my heart... As we watched this unfold, my child and I, on the news, it broke my heart. My child kept asking questions, thus breaking her heart too. To see someone so little be so upset about the loss of life... Life so far removed from her own... ugh!!! And I am angry. I know that if you are reading this, you too will be angry... Maybe at me. This whole appointing of a judge issue. Talk about being held accountable for every word out of your mouth. I am pro-women. I am a woman and I have opinions! But! How can we just explain away a comment like the one in question? Wasn't some dj/announcer dude fired because of a comment he made about some pretty tough women kickin' butt on a court? Yes, a different court but.... He didn't mean anything MEAN by it. They're just taking it out of context. Really? Did this woman mean to be MEAN about men of a different race? How is a comment of prejudice over looked for one but not for the other? Do we/women really want equality or convenience? "Oh they're just taking it out of context..." Really? I am glad that I am not a high profile blog and that my opinion really doesn't matter, it's just mine after all. Really? Really....!
