You Want To Teach My Kids WHAT?!?!?!

. California is trying to pass a bill that would add homosexuality, gay rights and the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender agenda to the curriculum and text books. I understand the need to have some things added into a curriculum for education. I believe that things like the holocaust, slavery, and the discovery of America needs to be taught. I agree that mathematics, Science, and English are important to learning and molding who you are and where you come from. I agree that children should be taught human rights and the struggle that have plagued mankind. I do not agree with a teacher explaining homosexuality, gay rights and the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender agenda to my children. I feel the same about sexual education I feel it is something that needs to be taught at home. With education being on the back burner due to budget cuts and our children being able to barely count and spell adding that to the curriculum should not be a priority. I understand that what’s happening with the Gay community is considered a civil rights issue, but it should be up to the parents. What grade would you teach such a thing? I understand that they want to marry and have the same rights as married couples, but what else is on the agenda? I have a few questions and this is such a broad spectrum that it could leave a lot to interpretation and a few other things that will not pertain to civil rights could end up being discussed. The US educational system is just above passing and can barely teach our children the basics to pass state assessments. Now for California a state that is bankrupt and giving out IOU’s for state income tax that is just ludicrous that this would be a priority for them. What’s next? Shaking My Head.

WHO HAS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS?

I have been considering getting a dummy e-mail, one that I would only use to sign up for services and shop online. I figured that would be a lot of help especially with all the advertisements.I just want to check my email without all the ads and stuff, and I have heard of companies being hacked before but never have I personally been affected until now. I received several emails from different companies that I shopped with online, or done some type of business online with them stating that the company that handles their email address has been compromised and that the ONLY thing that was taken was your email address and they may have had access to your name. The email than goes on to say that it’s not much that they can do but possibly spam your inbox which can be a minor nuisance but nothing to worry about. EXCUSE ME? I don’t like SPAM and you have no idea who accessed it and what kind of SPAM they will sending. So for all you know they could be sending out trojan worms to come for the computers in my home and the names in my address book. That is not a minor nuisance that is putting my computer, pictures, and files in danger. Not to mention money that I will have put into my investment (my computer) if it is compromised due to someone on your end not doing their job. So Epsilon don’t minimize how serious this really is and who is responsible…. WHEW!!! I JUST HAD TO RANT. I get enough spam. Its getting so that I wont be opening any emails on my own computer scared that one is the ticking time bomb…..So be careful of which emails you are opening ,because you don’t know who has your email address.

Government SHUT DOWN....REALLY?

Should we be worried about a government shut down? What would a government shut down entail? Well the last time the government shut down was in 1995 going into 1996. Well from my reading if the government shuts down national parks, museums, and monuments are closed to the public who helped to pay for them. Passports will not be process, but mail would be delivered. All work on federal cases such bankruptcies would halt and healthcare for vets would stop (HA!)Which I find to be terrible because these people fought so that you could be arrogant enough to shut down the government? After reading all the articles and getting both sides of the story it is just plain selfish to not consider the actual people who voted you in and will be affected. The republicans state that the president’s budget is smoke and mirrors and President Obama states the republicans have political initiatives in their proposal that will have a long term affect on American people.It seems as though both sides are standing on their beliefs and not bending or reaching a compromise and that there will be a government shutdown. So Friday close of business may be close of business for federal employees for awhile. If it happens I hope it is short term.I find this whole situation to be sad because in the midst of all of this you have federal employees who will be directly affected by these actions. There are some 800,000 federal workers whose livelihoods, homes, and families will be waiting in limbo without work until an agreement is made ….yeah this is a great way to boost the economy. I will not say that I understand politics 100% but I will say that allowing American citizens to suffer for personal agenda is selfish. I hope and pray that an agreement is met and that the situation is worked out.

Hello Fear

I can say that music has always been an outlet for me so I love good music. Gospel holds a special place in my heart and when it has a message that applies to what’s going on in my life it is just that more touching. So right now I have Kirk Franklins “Hello Fear” on repeat. It has truly been a comfort to my soul and he crosses all genre and traditional sounds from the Washington D.C. sound of GO-GO on “Before I die” to the international sound on “Give Me” featuring Mali music he even has a traditional cut called “The Altar”. Kirk Franklin has this way of being so sincere on his recordings that each one seems to be classic. I love how he bears his soul and uses his personal testimony to reach people. Hello fear is a classic in my book and as a writer Kirk Franklin is lining himself up to be one of the greatest. So if you haven’t heard it you should go get it. HELLO FEAR!


Here is "Before I die"

GO ORIOLES!

I am a home team fan and I am so excited that the Baltimore Orioles are off to a great start 4-0. I am excited because the orioles have had it rough these past few seasons and it would great to see them play out to their full potential and be celebrated. So GOOO ORIOLES!!!!

Southwest Landed?

Should we be questioning the way that airplanes are being inspected? I think so, because if a plane can be in the sky and hole can just open up while in the air that is a problem that started off very small. I read a report today that states that the federal inspection is not thorough and has a lot of loop holes that allowed things like that to happen. This plane has been inspected over 15 years and has 40,000 take-offs and landings.The federal inspector states that they have never inspected for this type of damage.Well I guess that is truewhy else would it have been able to open up in the air. The roof of the plane tore open at 30,000 feet so I hope now they realize that the WHOLE plane should be checked. I am glad that there were no fatalities and that besides being a little shook up everyone made it off the plane OK. The federal government is now revamping the inspection and have pulled all 737-300 to be inspected. So at least they were able to find out and prevent a possible disaster in the air Well I guess the best thing to do now is to pray before flying the friendly skies.

Are You In?

On April 4, 2011 President Barack Obama kicked off his re-election campaign and the emails and internet buzz started. The slogan and question “Are You In?” is everywhere. I have had face book friends and MySpace friends (didn’t know people still went on MySpace) post and emails come through to my inbox. So I know that the campaign has hit the ground running and I also know that he has some very loyal followers, but according to polls there are more people on the fence than ever and he now has to win them over and get them “IN”. His web site www.barackobama.com is full of information and you can link to your face book, twitter, tumblr, and some sites I am not acquainted with to receive updates and have the updates in your timeline. So it’s safe to say he has the social networks covered. Now all he has to do is be straight forward with his actions. I know that a lot of people are not excited about the US actions in Libya, but war tend to upset people. So he will be hitting the campaign trail hard trying to win votes that he lost and those he that he did not have.I am looking forward to seeing how things play out. I think that this next election might be quite nasty between parties,but only time will tell.So President Obama has his bid and I am waiting to see who else will announce their intentions to run for president.
