I wish we lived in a society where freedom on all issues wouldn't cause such upheaval. Guns...not everyone should have one. That's just common sense. Think about it. Don't you know some people who probably shouldn't own a gun so easily? But then again, if someone wants to kill you they will find a way. Gun laws don't stop the crazies but maybe it will stunt it. Recklessness comes into mind. What about the poachers? That's not right. Legalizing pot...not sure about this one since it can cause problems with health, eduction, and productivity. Then again, we could get some tax income from that along with what we get from alcohol and tobacco. But how many times have you heard "the man was high on marijuana and killed his entire family before turning the gun on himself" on the news? Gay marriage...Who gives a shit, let them get married. They have no less of a chance with that one. They hold no threat that I can see. There are many ways of looking at an "issue" but odds are we have simple solutions that have not been totally realized yet. We have reason to fear fear. Fear stunts as well as protects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4910300056217947510.post-43130216288493146402009-10-31T22:30:08.215-07:002009-10-31T22:30:08.215-07:00This is a tough one.

If both men and women were drafted who would be left to care for the children? At my age though I have nothing to worry about. Women do have the choice though to enlist. And they do. I think, with all information I have been provided, that we should keep it at that. If a woman wants to enlist, work hard and compete with any group than it should be based on performance.

However there are too many hindrances in the form of red tape, laws, regulations, lobbyists, special interests, et al that stand in the way of getting much of anything done.<br />the Love Poem was brutal.<br /><br />Good luck with your blog.

I think...I totally agree with your way of thinking! I think as a society we are spoiled with everything being handed to us and quickly, like 'fast food'. The media is every where you do not want them to be judging us like they have the right to. 1st Amendment or not there is a reason for the separation between church and state!! <br /><br />Plus, these women should get the same equal pay as men! No glass ceiling!! <br />Many citizens are driving around ignorantly and almost comtatose it seems. <br /><br />I think women should have the option to do whatever a man can do. If they have the training and intelligence. It is their choice!!Sheluvsmoovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193379154037722276noreply@blogger.com
