Hmmmmm...
I've been thinking alot about the state of our country lately. The new stimulus package in particular, really pisses me off. The new pres. and his cohorts think they can just decide to spend over 7Billion dollars of OUR money!! Then, when the national deficit gets out of control, guess who's going to be expected to bring that under control? Any idea kids? We will!!!! Now they want another more than $4B?!!! WTF??? Is anybody else angered over this, or do I stand alone in my worry for the future, especially for my son? I really hope people bother to read this, and please comment.
The other thing I have been giving thouhgt to is the recent talk about religion in the news. Don't we have freedom of religion? Since people have been coming out of the proverbial "closet" with the "I'm not Christian" statement, the Christians seem to be really upset. How do they think people of other religions have felt all these years? I'm not trying to say that I don't agree with their rights, they have a right to worship as they wish too, but really, I have heard them say some pretty bad things abou people who believe differently lately. I have friends who are Wiccan, Atheist (my hubby is atheist), Christian (many demoninations), and some other spiritual beliefs as well. I don't know where I'm going with this, it's just been on my mind. I work with a woman who is Christian, I don't know what she thought I believed, but she was constantly trying to force feed me her beliefs. The other day I finally told her, look, I'm Wiccan. I don't share your beliefs, but I do have spirituality, I do believe we are all on a journey to something greater than we understand right now. The path we take is up to us, so please stop trying to make me believe what you believe. I was raised Catholic, and attended a United Methodist church for several years, and my mother was Baptist, I know what Christians believe, and I don't believe it. She has stopped, but I still get the feeling she is worried about my soul or something. Maybe she should consentrate more on her own path??
