As a postscript to my Right to Bear Arms blog, the NRA has "warned" our United States Senate that if they vote for Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, it will be remembered at the ballot box. The NRA is also able to attach gun friendly legislation to bills being considered for passage in order to get enough votes in the senate or house to get the bill passed. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't get it, and I find it damn scary. I mean who is running this country?
Next, the Barefoot Bandit has followers, he has supporters! He is a criminal, has been since he was twelve, why does anyone want to make him a hero? If there is a movie made about him I will puke.
Kwame Kilpatrick has no money, he is broke, therefore my tax dollars will go to pay his court appointed attorney. I don't get it because I don't believe for a minute that Kwame is broke. His court appointed attorney, by the way, is the lawyer he had defending him in the text message scandal and has volunteered to be Kwame's court appointed attorney. He has stated that Kwame is his friend and has been good to him. I don't know, I don't get it, do you?
Detroit.MomsLikeMe.com posed this question: How do you discipline kids in public. Here is a posted response that some mom thinks is good discipline: "For my son it's usually me grabbing his face so he is forced to have eye contact with me and I calmly explain through clinched teeth that if he doesn't behave there will be ... a whole lot of sitting in his room with nothing but his thoughts when we get home." Shortly after reading this in the paper I picked up my daughter-in-law's Parenting Magazine and found out that 27% of children today are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder therefore pediatricians are being trained to ask parents how they are coping! If this mom thinks her form of discipline is appropriate no wonder more and more youngsters have emotional problems. I mean, where is the love in grabbing your child's face and talking through clenched teeth? Where there is no love, there is going to be emotional problems.
Finally, and this is the best of the I don't get its! A school board in Helena Montana heard from angry parents who think a proposed sex education program may be going a bit to far too soon. What has the parents so upset? Well, the program would begin teaching 1st graders about same-gender relationships, (I'm sorry in 1st grade girls think boys are yucky anyway and little boys don't especially like little girls, so I am sure they are all for same gender relationships at this stage!). Fifth graders would learn that sexual intercourse includes vaginal, oral, or anal penetration. Hopefully, this lesson will happen before lunch or there will be a lot of vomit to clean up, I mean who thinks ten and eleven year olds are ready for this? And if they are, this is far scarier than the NRA! High school students would learn about erotic art, that will keep them coming to school, and kindergardeners would be taught the real name for their body parts - penis, vagina, breast, nipples, testicles, scrotum, and uterus. Can you see that lesson? Who would like to volunteer to come to the front of the room and show the class where your penis is? No Suzy, you don't have a penis but you can show us where your vagina is, and you'll get extra credit if you can explain where your little uterus is hiding! One trustee stated that perhaps certain components are being taught too young, (do ya think?), and is quoted as saying "I don't know that anything needs to be taken out - some of it might be age inappropriate. We are going to have to consider how we teach it and when we teach it." REALLY? Oh the world we live in. Have a great night.
