Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

WARNING!!!! if you know me personally, you may read my diary, but if you do, you take the chance of hearing things you don't want to know, misunderstanding what I've written and being hurt by it. If you are unsure if it is ok to read, save yourself and me the grief and heartache, and ask first!!! Please note that this is a DIARY, ie my subjective feelings, hearsay, suppositions, and outpourings of ranting of the moment. It does not represent objective news, the whole of what I think of a topic or someone, or even a thought-out representation of any of the above. Keep that in mind.

Planned Barrenhood and other Idiocies
OOOOO here is a really beautiful Lady of Grace that is FIVE feet tall!! woooo! I guess I shouldn't point her out cuz you'll all bid on her and drive the bidding up eh! Compare that to how bogglingly ugly this "modern" one is.
On other googlisms, here is a list of words used by the anti-abortion people. I found it looking up "planned barrenhood" which I discovered today to be the anti-choice people's name for planned parenthood.
I do find it ironic that a religion that often posits nuns, priests and the Pope to be the holiest highest to god would call something they DISLIKE "Planned Barrenhood". If becoming a nun or a priest isn't planned barrenhood, I don't know what it is.
Contrast that to family planning which is what planned parenthood is about. It is not an anti-parenthood group. It is a PLANNED parenthood group. Ie helping people have 3 kids somewhat spaced rather than 8 before they can afford them. What a boggling idea!!
This ties into something the cute little gayboy waiter said to me at the coffeeshop today. He was watching a tv show about gay marriage last night, and one guy on it said that gays are of
no use to society since they do not procreate. First of all, since it is a really roman catholic position to be against gays marrying, it is ironic to the EXTREME that they would consider humans who do not procreate to be useless to society**. Um hum. Pope anyone?? **use your find function to look for "useless" on that page.
Besides being internally inconsistent with their religious values (ie renouncing marriage and children= MORE valuable to humanity), it is just ludicrous. The number of gay and lesbian daycare workers and school teachers I know who enable the parents to actually be free of childcare to go to a job, I couldn't count on my two hands. And we all know that it is more valuable to society to be washing clothes for children or mushing bananas than it is to be a doctor curing those children, or helping the mothers give birth, or being a shopkeeper selling the clothes and food for those children etc. yup. All those doctors, lawyers, children's aid workers etc whom I know who are gay.... totally useless to society.
And any children who die before reproducing. Pointless. Any adults who do not have offspring, by infertility or choice. Any parents whose children predecease them... their lives suddenly without value. Dang, add them all to the homosexuals who don't reproduce (since the homosexuals who do reproduce I suppose ARE valuable to society) and that makes a hell of alot of duds.
And let's see... back to grade school biology. What about bees, the most socially organised animal. Only one procreates, the queen. I guess that ALL the other bees in a hive are USELESS to the bee hive. Cripers cripers. These people who say such stupid demeaning, illogical and idiotic things should be sterilised so they can't pass this on to THEIR children. Sigh. Useless to society.
OK< back to work.
