While I'm married I do realize the patriarchal bs that goes along with it, being a radical feminist myself.....but in the end submitting to the word "marriage" while being in a pretty equitable relationship is worth it to have these legal protections. It's not just about the "m" word, it's about civil rights and the ability to have protections for the one you choose to hang with.JRohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864022478925780827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336330802457006934.post-1817546555326824582011-11-16T12:30:38.053-06:002011-11-16T12:30:38.053-06:00I love the fact that people are expressing their i...I love the fact that people are expressing their ideas freely and that the movement is expanding around the world.

But it's also true that the past 30 years have been a period in which greed has been glorified. Conventional wisdom says that if you make yourself rich, this benefits society and shows that God loves you. Now different ideas are making themselves heard. I am cautiously optimistic.

Consider the midwest drought of the 1930s and the wildfires in Australia in the 70s. In the early 50s, the spring snow was tan colored in Wisconsin. But, the solar irradiance was unusually high over the last several 11-year cycles. Nevertheless, we are now in the waning phase of the 200-year solar cycle. The global temperature should be noticeably lower by 2014 and certainly cold by 2040.hblhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234806134439381081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336330802457006934.post-3740976680667084942010-07-24T08:48:52.710-05:002010-07-24T08:48:52.710-05:00Socialist.

It did not ask for my name or my phone number, just how many people lived at my house and how old they were, then because it was the long form it asked about race and gender and political registration and immigration status and religion and more. I could have chosen the short form.<br /><br />This year, the short form wanted to know some really intrusive things so I chose not to answer them. I did not give my name or my phone number, and I chose to do as you did, to select "other" for race, except I put "American" there.Noddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433844498917167637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336330802457006934.post-68533352545601754172010-02-25T10:35:10.581-06:002010-02-25T10:35:10.581-06:00I appreciate your comment.

People who use the word "chick" on my front porch to refer to female human beings get asked to move along. I find it an offensive and degrading term. The word "Congresswoman" works perfectly well. So, your comments are welcome, but next time watch your language, okay?<br /><br />Second, the public option is an <i>option.</i> If you are person not covered by workplace insurance, and you would like to buy your insurance from, oh, say Anthem Blue Cross, you would be welcome to do so. Personally, if I weren't covered at work, I would much rather have the choice of choosing a government program. Heck, as someone who is covered at my workplace, I wish I could choose between the insurance I already have and a government plan.<br /><br />Government is not perfect, but is subject to popular control. Monopolistic corporations seem to be accountable to no one.amazon gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05106523705429014630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336330802457006934.post-92000727150314328932010-02-25T10:24:47.880-06:002010-02-25T10:24:47.880-06:00Thank you for commenting.

He's talking about single-payer insurance, in which everyone gets their healthcare paid for as part of a single system, while retaining the right to choose their own doctors. The economies of scale associated with a single program would help to drive down costs, while making sure that everyone is covered.amazon gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05106523705429014630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336330802457006934.post-63046791745416385732010-02-25T07:28:24.563-06:002010-02-25T07:28:24.563-06:00Personally, I'd like healthcare reform to be ...Personally, I'd like healthcare reform to be a state's right with the feds supporting with money.

The people who are hit hardest by the sales tax used to fund MAPS 3 are the people who will be least able to benefit from the projects it would construct.

Currently OKC spends 1/3 of what cities of a similar size spend on transportation funding. I'm guessing that you would not support the amount of taxation necessary to do the entire system correctly. All experts agree that faced with this large of a task that we must start somewhere and that downtown - due to its relatively higher density and its high amount of visitors - is the best place to start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336330802457006934.post-15886815074057028592009-12-07T09:51:47.108-06:002009-12-07T09:51:47.108-06:00I disagree with your opinion that a convention cen...I disagree with your opinion that a convention center would only benefit downtown business people. In fact, I would imagine that most of the time the convention center is being used by out-of-towners. However, it is these out-of-towners that help bolster downtown businesses, such as hotels and restaurants during the mid-week lean times. Without this additional business, places like Bricktown are forced to exist in a boom-bust cycle - lots of business on the weekends but hardly anybody in the middle of the week. If you have a favorite downtown restaurant then you should support things like the NBA and the Convention Center for their sake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
