>> from the wisest person I know, in response to my email to her (it was mostly about stock picks but I asided) I don't like the choice of Rick Warren at all, but he's not BHO and he doesn't have a vote in Congress, either. I don't think we should make him into something bigger than he is. It's really vital for us to pick our battles in this fight, and I'm willing to wait and see what Obama does. He's got to get the economy on the right track, and he's got to fix health care. If he can get rid of DADT I'll be very happy. ya know, I dun so much care about DADT. I guess cause marriage doesn't matter much to me. take it all out of state rule. give a certificate. done. but it does sound bad. "defense against bhah blah". oy. be done with it. for once in our 30 years or her being wiser than me, she sounds a tad more radical. :) but the upshot is... give it a chance. my 83 year old life-long repub father said the same thing, and he would die for his queer daughter. so... let it rest, and we will see. or not? << Truman capote, Harper Lee and Tennese william's would have liked that-lol. Quite the character-lol?

ooops - but... physical fear. how many know that? on a daily basis? and nightly basis? for years I could not sleep at night without being on edge, waiting and wondering it 'they' would come for me... the ones who wanted to teach a 'lesbian' a lesson. I had neighbors who sent the word out that I was one of them, but... it didn't stop the men who would pull into my yard and rev their cars and yell in the middle of the night about what they would do to me. and I would flash my knife at them. and... tiring. life shouldn't have to be so hard. but I'm glad I'm bound for hell and Warren agrees and he will spout some stuff on the 20th. don't make me no never mind. I defended rednecks against people who were obamfiles who thought no one who bowled should be bothered with. but them bowlers are my neighbors. warren is not. so be it.
