My Womb Is NOT Your Womb (and similar stories)

As I sit at work, delicately sipping my coffee I secretly mickey-ed with caramel syrup I found way back in a cabinet that I am not reminding anyone of, I am sifting through the Los Angeles Times online and found an interesting and empowering article on the amazing, woman-hating, money-hungry legend from the Alaskan landscape, Sarah Palin.

I implore you to delve into the words of feminist leader Gloria Steinem:

I am trying to read more on each presidential candidate and his vice presidential counterpart, slowly, sluggishly gaining a greater perspective on what each "promises," reaches for, and hopes to gain from serving as the leader of our country.

It's tough for me to make any strong, opinion-oriented comments or take a political stance on many topics because I am not educated enough on them to do so. I'll be the first to admit it. But I will also be the first to admit that Sarah Palin really disgusts me. If you read this article, you'll hopefully understand why. I'm not an extreme feminist in the ways of some that put themselves on the line in a public setting (not that I'm opposed to the idea, I just don't have the resources or collective ideas yet), but I do stand by my opinions in a diginified manner and Sarah Palin goes against many ideals and standards I set for myself. How can you preach that teaching abstinence works when your daughter is pregnant. Is she really that blind?

Anyway, I'm ranting now, but check out the article and read it all the way through if possible.

I guess I should get back to work. Some of the late-comers are strolling in and I really do like to say hi to them. They are a friendly group for the most part. I like that.

Peace and loooove,
Katy

Oooo, P.S. My parents brought down my car yesterday. It is a '93 Mazda Miata, silver, convertible, and it is SUPER awesome and everything I wanted in a car, like, EVER. Props to my momma for finding it in a random lot. I'm REALLY playing grown-up now!
