Politics, Religion, and Tattoos.

cute story: Here

Disturbing story: Here
1 in 4 teenagers have an STD yet the church just distributed a list of 7 Social Sins including "Bioethical Violations" such as birth control, and the religious right still pushes against HPV Vaccinations on moral grounds. Disgusting.



I voted in the primaries this year :)
I also caucused... which was.... uh.. interesting. You would think that with all the talk and hype they would have been prepared for a record caucus turnout.. but no.. they weren't. Some creepy guy with a mic got up and said "okay, uh, we need everyone to sign this paper." And everyone got up and tried to run and push to the front of the sanctuary. Yes. I said sanctuary. You see, even though we have the false assumption of Separation of Church and State, my caucus was held in the sanctuary of a Lutheran Church. I was sufficiently creeped out while I waited in a wooden pew for teh festivities to begin. All I had to look at were visitors cards and hymnals... ew.



















I was standing in the middle of the sanctuary here... it was mass chaos. Very representative of the way our government works, actually..



I also got a letter back from Tom Robbins!!!! It was awesome. I'm the happiest girl alive :)
He said he likes the symbol from Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas. It was developed 5,000 years ago to memorialize a visit to them by extraterrestrials from the star system Sirius. hehe. Anyway I had Josh draw it on me so we could see how it looked:

Cool huh? :)


Catch ya l8er.
