I like being in the dark

I am the most politically uninformed person on the planet, and I am proud of it! I am not being saturated with what I can and cannot say; a bit only trickles in here and there. Imus who? Ha! I wouldn't know who Obama was if it weren't for Candace over at Chapterhouse for Christ's sake!

At least when I used People PC, I got daily sound bites... snippets of current events, but even that is gone now. Pop culture to me is what I see on the covers of gossip magazines in line at the checkout counter. Do I really give a shit if Br@d and Angelin@ are having issues? Or if T0m and whats her face are in some kind of crazy marriage? No fucking way. I am not bombarded with anything, and it has to do with self control.

If you don't like what you are seeing or hearing on TV or the radio, change the fucking channel. Shut your goddamn browser. Take control of your life, and just walk away.

Don't feed the trolls.

**Update**
I am mostly talking about political incorrect stuff, but everyone comments on the gossip part... part those who go on rampages over what someone said, are gossiping. If we stop listening to these people, then it doesn't matter what they say, because we took away their audience.

Texas Gov. Orders Anti-Cancer Vaccine

"AUSTIN, Texas - Some conservatives and parents' rights groups worry that requiring girls to get vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer would condone premarital sex and interfere with the way they raise their children.

By using an executive order that bypassed the Legislature, Republican Gov. Rick Perry - himself a conservative - on Friday avoided such opposition, making Texas the first state to mandate that schoolgirls get vaccinated against the virus.

Beginning in September 2008, girls entering the sixth grade will have to receive Gardasil, Merck & Co.'s new vaccine against strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV.

Perry also directed state health authorities to make the vaccine available free to girls 9 to 18 who are uninsured or whose insurance does not cover vaccines. In addition, he ordered that Medicaid offer Gardasil to women ages 19 to 21.

Perry, a conservative Christian who opposes abortion and stem-cell research using embryonic cells, counts on the religious right for his political base. But he has said the cervical cancer vaccine is no different from the one that protects children against polio.

"The HPV vaccine provides us with an incredible opportunity to effectively target and prevent cervical cancer," he said."

Oh Hell, What's Next?

Teacher Reassigned for Anatomy Drawings

Saturday, January 27, 2007
YONKERS,
N.Y. - A teacher has been barred from classes after having his seventh-grade students draw male genitalia on the blackboard during health class, a school spokeswoman said Friday.
The teacher, whose name was not made public, was assigned to administrative duties and Superintendent Bernard Pierorazio will ask trustees to fire him, said Yonkers school spokeswoman Jerilynne Fierstein.
"There was no way we were going to let him be in front of children," she said.
Fierstein said the state's seventh-grade curriculum calls for lessons in human anatomy and sexuality, but "as a teacher you have to be sensitive and you have to look at the age-appropriateness of any activity that you ask a child to do. And this was just not appropriate."
Pierorazio said the teacher had began his lesson by asking students to volunteer to come to the board to draw male anatomy.
Fierstein said the administration learned of the drawings, which occurred in a class of boys and girls at the Pearls Hawthorne school, when a parent complained.
Trustees will consider the teacher's firing at a March 21 meeting, she said.
Jon Klibonoff, a father of a student at the school, said he did not believe the material was inappropriate.
"This is biology, it's anatomy, it's human sexuality," he said. "They're in puberty. They're aware of it on one level or another." Go dad!
Fourth-grader Noah Klibonoff disagreed.
"They're not supposed to know what it's supposed to look like at this age yet, so I think it's a little embarrassing and it's also a little inappropriate," he said. WTF? They interviewed a 4th grader? What the fuck does a 9 year old know about 7th grade anatomy?? Sorry, ass monkeys, interview other 7 graders. Can we say RETARDED?
Pierorazio issued a statement saying, "I will not tolerate insensitive, inappropriate behavior by any staff member toward our students. Every student's physical and emotional well-being is paramount in our decision making, therefore immediate action was taken." So they want to fire him? Oh come on already!!!

Does everyone realize that the students would have to study pictures of the male penis and scrotum in 7th grade biology? Inside and out diagrams? They get tested on it, have to label the different parts? I know, I took 7th grade biology, and that is what we did. It needs to be taught, then people know how the body works, know where babies come from, and just might be less likely to get knocked up if they know about sperm and ejaculation. Oh my god I said it, I said ejaculation!!!!

Which way do we go?

Do we support the black man? Should we support the woman? Or do we offer support to the Latino?

I have always been a fan of Hillary, but we need to listen to the issues, pay attention to what we already know about the candidates, and then give all our support to Hillary. Just kidding!!!

Hmmm... divided I think the people may be, if we have to many decent choices, especially choices that look appetising to minorities. I think know that there are those out there who will choose solely on race and sex. This is sad.

In better news, the in laws are coming home and husband is on his way to MT. I have the house to meself. Woohoo! I am still doing nothing... alright...

Am I reading my book (Eragon)? Am I studying my faith? Cleaning? Sleeping? Nope, I am blogging! At least I am back to making dolls. I really want to start sewing, but am afraid. Plus, it entails shopping for fabric, and I want silk, patterns, threads, buttons, etc. Who has the time? And I want to wait until I am at least 20 pounds lighter. That's not going to happen if I keep eating candy bars. They are just so yummy... but it is the sugar craving that gets me. It is a physical addiction, and sometimes I don't feel strong enough to just say no!

What do you think I should do:

Read, sleep, study, clean, doll, sew, or blog?
