Dear mom,
I love you so much, and you know I respect your religion alot. I always have nice things to say about your church friends, your music, and if ever I do say anything not in line with your views, I do it witout being rude or spiteful. I've even refrained from doing magick in your home, even though I could totally do it without you knowing.

So do you think you could try to be a little bit more respectful of me? I'm pretty sure I've told you I'm a witch at least once, probably more than that, and yet you talk about the "evils" of witchcraft around me like I'm not even there. You talk to me like I'm christian, even though you know I'm not, and I can't have a single conversation with you without you adding some biblical refrence. I know for a fact that if I talked about my religion that much, or anything for that matter, you'd think I was obnoxious or obsessed.

I'm not saying you have to change your views to please me. You don't even have to like that I'm Pagan. I just want you to talk to me, not preach. Treat me like a normal person, not someone who needs to hear gods word, just out of respect for me.

One of these days, I'm gonna let you know that shit bothers me. If you keep doin it, don't be surprised if I do the same to you.

I love you mom,
your daughter

This will either be amusing or total facepalm stuff. Set your DVR or VCR for 9:00PM (Eastern) tonight and the channel to BBC America. They're running a special Dr Who episode tonight (Part 1 of 2) featuring our very own savior of the planet, Barak H. Obama! (Hmm. hmm. hmm.)

If you miss the 9:00 airing it usually repeats around 2:00 or 3:00AM. Come back and tell us what you thought of it.

Dear boy,

You have no idea how hard I've fallen for you. You likely won't know this unless I get incredibly wasted, but the only reason I'm doing an internship in the city is to be close to you, because I want to try.

You said you don't do long-distance relationships well, so we couldn't date. If I cut out the distance... What would happen?

I can't wait until May. You likely have no idea how much I'd do for you. Hopefully, you will.

Yours,
C

A "scalie" looks at our predicament:


2010: The Year of Reckoning, Part I & 2

By Robert Ringer


In a 2008 radio interview, Barack Obama said:

" … the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties."

I tell you, life isn't fair. Why hasn't the Supreme Court ever ventured into the matter of "redistributive wealth?" And what in the world were the Founding Fathers thinking about when they failed to broach the subject?

Surely it was an oversight that they never addressed the issue of taking your assets and giving them to your neighbor. Or perhaps it's just an indication that George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and James Madison were cold, calloused individuals who enjoyed watching people suffer.

In the same interview, Chairman Obama went on to say that the Constitution "[says] what the federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf, and that hasn't shifted … and one of the … tragedies of the civil rights movement was … because the civil rights movement became so court focused, I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change."
