  • Reply to: The Gospel of Citizens United: In Hobby Lobby, Corporations Pray for the Right to Deny Workers Contraception   10 years 8 months ago
    "Hobby Lobby is a big business that wants to deny thousands of its female employees access to certain contraceptives" Really? They want to deny contraceptives? Or do they think that paying for contraceptives is a personal choice and not to be dumped on the employer? Let's not use such loaded language and get this right. When I was young and single back in the 1960s we bought our own and it never crossed our minds that someone else should have to pay for them. Whatever happened to that attitude that you are responsible for paying for your own fun?

    Actually, and unfortunately protestors in many other countries are shot and killed, some during peaceful protests. Protesting in America certainly isn't perfect, and never has been, but I suspect every country has their own issues. Hmmm, I wonder if a study is in order. Well, I already did my homeland security master's thesis on CERT teams. Protests, even very peaceful ones, tend to be high energy/stress verging on the edge of just needing that one tiny push to send them spiraling out of control. Whether that situation is exacerbated by the protestors, LEOs, or an outsider just looking to ramp things up. All protests have the potential to go awry.

    Frank really needs a little "GMO" tee shirt so everyone can make an informed choice as to whether to buy him or not!

    While I do not doubt the crookedness of Walker and his cronies, the democrats royally blew it with the recall. They didn't have a candidate until the last minute though they had months to choose one, and they basically dropped the ball. Russ Feingold could easily have defeated Walker and then resigned after a few months, but he didn't. Why? Why did the Wisconsin Dems wuss out?

    Never seen any blog containing so much reference on mental health care. It's surely very help full.
