DADT

I just want to say that I am very disappointed that Don't Ask Don't Tell was not repealed today.
All but 1 republican senator voted against the repeal.Our country has got to wake up & stop voting these close minded,homophobic people into office.
A soldier is a soldier & a gay or lesbian soldier should be able to openly & proudly serve thier country without fear of retaliation.

Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act ...Seriously?

The Senate has unanimously passed a bill - the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act (CALM) that requires TV stations and cable companies to ensure that commercials are broadcast at the same volume as television programs.

The bill, its sponsors say, would fix a problem that “vexes many television viewers - when commercials are many times louder than the regular program they are viewing.”

Ok folks is it me? Or is this the epitome of stupidity as well as a colossal
waste of time & money?

I mean seriously, An act to lower the volume on commercials? Come on, are you kidding me?





I mean I would be all for lowering the volume on commercials if we didn't have things such as ..Oh I don't know..Let's see...
A War
Unemployment
Homelessness
A failing education system
Prisons Overcrowded
Young people killing themselves over unbearable bullying
Child & Animal Abuse running rampant
Cuts in healthcare (which almost cost me my job & several friends did lose thier job)

Are you getting my drift here? Those are just a few of the things that are more important than the volume on a commercial on TV..For God's sake people use the MUTE button!
I am horrified that our goverment is using Money & Time for such outragoues things,when I can walk out my door & walk a few blocks and see transient Vets on the street corner panhandling..No Home..No Help, after defending our country!
So yes I am saying WTH!!
Let me know how you feel...
God Bless you all..

WTH were you thinking Bethany?

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) -- Police say a Vancouver woman threw acid in her own face, then lied to investigators, saying a woman she did not know was responsible.

Vancouver Police Chief Clifford Cook said Thursday that Bethany Storro admitted to fabricating a story about the attack in which she suffered severe burns.

Cook says he does not know a motive for Storro's actions.

Cook says discrepancies began to emerge during the investigation. Storro had said a woman with a ponytail attacked her on Aug. 30.

Cook says Storro is "very remorseful."

Ok now folks I try to keep an open mind & always be positive & not judge people..
But on this one it's extremly difficult to keep quiet.
Don't get me wrong I am well aware there are mental issues here,I mean come on it's obvious,right?
I am upset that she played with my emotions,I actually felt really really bad for her while watching her interviews on TV.
Then to find out she purposely threw acid in her own face is beyond my comprehension.
Seriously at what point do you wake up one morning & decide "hey I need some attention,so I am going to a throw acid in my own face & blame it on some non existent attacker"
The part about this that is really bothersome is these kind of events end up making us question the next person who make be attacked or injured,because in the back of our minds we think "ok do I feel sympathy for this person or is this just another hoax?"
Ms. Storro's issues go way beyond her burns to her face & I hope she seeks help & has a support system.

With that being said, I end this with...
WTF? Did that just happen?

God Bless & Namaste...
