I don't care why he didn't want to go to ONE event. Whatever. I won't be offended when he doesn't show up at the Gay Pride Festival in June either. HOWEVER, I DO expect my governor to decline politely and respectfully. Maine is already thought of as a state of uneducated lobsterman and potato farmers. Let's not let our governor perpetuate that image!
What a beautiful thing this woman did... What a wonderful, healthy way to heal after September 11th. Unlike so many, she turned her anger into something positive.
If you don't like Obama's plan, give me a different solution. A Canadian friend said to me, "I was shocked to find out that in America, a first world country, someone can go into debt because they have to have their appendix out." I understand you have issues with Obama's plan, but if so than we need a better solution. Because what we have is NOT working. I'm 26 years old. I've been working for ten years. I'm a full time college student and a behavioral health professional. I just paid for my eye appointment out of my own pocket. If you don't like Obama's plan, LePage, then give me a better solution.
Journalism has ALWAYS been biased. It's just the fact of it. There have been laws banning journalists from printing anything bad about the government, boycotts of certain newspapers because of abolitionist articles. People have died for printing things other's didn't want to believe, even when they had the facts to back it up (ie. Galileo). There has always been someone bigger who owned the paper or printing press and had the final say. And that person has always been biased. It's a fact of humanity. If you try to show an extreme democrat any article from Fox News or NBC they will assume the whole thing is a lie. In a country with such polarity of opinions this is fuel for the fire. But in reality... it's not far off from our history.
As someone who has studied Wicca/Witchcraft for over ten years I am here to tell you that you are not going to cast any successful spells from a stolen spellbook. Contrary to pop culture spells have very little to do with the herbs, the candles, and the creepy black cauldron. They have everything to do with the energy you are putting out into the world. By stealing these books you are putting only negative energy into the world. You are telling the universe, "I can't afford this book" and the universe is going to believe you. And you will never be able to afford that book.
A true Wicca is many things. Peaceful, calm, full of love. They are NOT thieves. As long as you continue to steal things for "magickal practice" you are only perpetuating your own negative energy. You will never be a true Wicca, or even begin to understand the beauty that is Witchcraft, until you stop habits such as these.
If it is indeed people who are copying the idea of the woman who stole the sex education book... Read one of those books with the same open mind that I recently enlisted when I read "Our Jehovah". I don't need to be Christian to see the beauty that CAN come from Christianity. Admit for a moment that throughout the planet there are many people who all think their way is the only way... and maybe in the grand scheme of things your opinion, as one out of billions, could be a misconstrued theory. Because, well, the world doesn't revolve around you. In revolves around my god, The Sun.
P.S. You can BORROW that book for free! They'll let you! It's what they do!
