Thank you for reminding me that at the very least, I can raise my children to be decent human beings and make it clear to them that it is all of our responsibility to take care of all our people, but especially those who aren't able to advocate for themselves. I can make it clear to them that anything less is unacceptable. Despite what the government does to disenfranchise anyone who isn't rich, white and straight. <br />Thank you. Sorry I've been awol. I've been busy taking care of people (that whole Human Services job, you know) and trying to raise 2 decent little humans.

But I couldn't take the cold, plus I'd have to miss the Goodwood plant sale. It is scary. And I do have a hard time with those whose beliefs are so opposed to what I was taught growing up that "Christian charity" was all about. I guess they don't teach that anymore.
