Rant: Birth control is NOT murder.
Oct. 23rd, 2008 12:00 amNo, not even the Pill.
Yes, it prevents pregnancy. Yes, this can direct the path of your life in ways that do not involve children.* And you know what? I think that if you are not prepared to raise a child, then using birth control is the RESPONSIBLE thing.
Yes, I've never been pregnant. It is not an accident that I've never been pregnant. Never being pregnant does not mean I am not "entitled" to speak in this matter.
If YOU want to be open to having children, that is YOUR choice. Others are entitled to make THEIR choices.
God, save me from the people who claim to be talkin' to you.
*It can also clear up acne, keep endometriosis under control, reduce PMS, and other good and useful and LAWFUL things....

Helicopter?
Oct. 23rd, 2008 12:21 amWTF is up in Redmond? The flashing lights from cop cars in the cul-de-sac are off, but the helicopter's still up there & not at all sleep-inducing.
Have checked that all doors and windows on 1st floor are locked. Have outside lights on so I can see anyone approaching. Argh!
12:40 update: Helicopter gone. Flashing lights gone. Now if only I could make the inner voices screaming "Alert! Alert!" gone....
