Read it. Follow the links. Notice I was stupid and got into it with the sort of person that makes my blood boil. Really, really really REALLY must work on leaving well enough alone.

That was me -- I made a mistake in my comment, deleted it, corrected it, and reposted it.

Thank you for the link, too, rm.

*yes, I know you're not a dude, you're a woman, and a gorgeous one at that*

You did the right thing-obviously someone who can't see the big picture, and is so stubborn sticking to their guns that they have no idea when to admit that they're wrong.

Seriously, when I read comments like yours and five x five and Msscribe(?), it makes me realize that there are still some fighters out there. They keep trying to take shit away from us, and it's good to know that there's more of us then we may think.

Thanks for the link, the entry, and the flaming of SkinnyBodyDown. You rock.

Thank you, but you may call me dude anytime. I call _everyone_ dude.

GAH!

Someone recently commented to me that we need to fire then entire House of Representatives and hold open elections to replace them, then after it's done do the same with the Senate.

While that's a little extreme, when I read things like this I have a moment of anger that makes me agree with the idea.

Being male of the species, it's not exactly my territory to say, but I think that we as a collective country have done enough damage to the reproductive rights of women in the name of lightly veiled religous beliefs.

I also believe that going forward all laws proposed should be put up for review to see if they comply with the seperation of church and state.

I had my first taste of hate for this kind of thing when I was in my 20's , and dating a woman who had a 3 generation history of ovarian cancer. She had regular checkups every six months, and in order to do it on the cheap she went to the a local clinic. Sadly the clinic also performed abortions , thus most every time we went there were people shoving papers in the car windows, and screaming at us.

Now I'm in my 30's and it's not much better. I'm armed with my vote though, and it may sound against the grain, but we as a people should not vote away the individuals rights towards their own body based on religous fervor.

Least we forget , this country was founded by people who wanted to escape religious tyrany.

No problem.... welcome to the world of my friend's list helping you beat up the idiot (although you clearly had it well in hand). I just went over there and was amused at how many of them were commenting).

P.S. -- we vaguely know each other already, albeit through another identity of mine. But that's an email discussion. Heh.

It's nice to find new supporters, especially against trolls.

Do we? You'll have to tell!

I hope you don't mind me chucking my tuppence worth in, my father, uncle, aunt, cousin and three grandparents are/were doctors.
Felt a need to point out that the hippocratic oath and the powers a doctor holds are special, that they are not like other professionals, that is why I fix puters not people.

Mind if I add you as a friend?

I certainly don't mind! I'll add you back, as well.
