Pondering, Ruminating, Thinking and Questioning

There are many things that require maturity before being able to try or experience them. For a number of these, we actually have laws that set the age limit. There is voting, driving a car, joining the service, buying alcohol, tobacco, cigarettes or fireworks, getting married, running for public office or being a policeman just to name a few.

We, as a society, have decided that a child shouldn’t be able to do or participate in certain activities because they don’t have the experience or maturity to handle them so isn’t it amazing that there is no age limit for owning a gun.  According to the New England Journal of Medicine, twice as many children die from guns than from cancer in the United States.

  


 Texas State District Judge Stephen Thomas has determined that it is ok for cheerleaders to display Bible verses at high school football games. Gee I wonder if he would have ruled the same way if the cheerleaders wanted to display verses from the Koran or Torah Prophets.




I find the outrage the Republicans are ranting about over the Embassy deaths in Benghazi is really nothing more than political bull shit.  Yes the deaths are a tragedy but I don’t recall the same Republicans being outraged over the 11 Embassy attacks and 14 deaths on George W. Bush’s watch. There were a total of 3 congressional hearings on those attacks and so far there have already been 9 hearings on Benghazi.  I also don’t recall them being outraged at W, Condoleeza Rice, the F.B.I., the C.I.A or the Pentagon over 9/11.  Personally I believe they are mostly upset by the impending death of the GOP.


A final thought before I go.  If you are against abortions, please quit calling yourselves Pro-lifers.  You are anti-abortionist.  That is fine.  You have every right to be against abortion and you should never have one, but statistics show that most people who refer to themselves as Pro-life are for the death penalty and I sure as hell don’t hear of them out adopting babies. So if you are against abortions, please have the courage to call yourself an anti-abortionist.


Stay tuned for future adventures.
