Its 4:30 a.m.
I am so naive.
Why would people be so scared of other people's personal decisions? How could where my children get educated affect someone else? Why can't I marry whoever I damn well choose to be my life partner? Doctors are NOT God. And what gives you the right to define God for me anyway? I don't often get political. But I am feeling ever so slightly unsafe in my safe little bubble. What would it be like to live with REAL fear every day of your life?
Tomorrow I'll start what I'm thankful for... I promise.

I feel your pain, sister.
I go through "spells" of thinking about this constantly. I have since given up trying to even TELL my family about our choices, let alone DEFEND said choices. ('Cept my 'rents who are the most understanding and easy going people I have EVER had the honor to know. How did those same people raise my siblings?!?)
How is it we can accept/acknowledge/LEAVE ALONE others' decisions to bus their kids off every day and allow someone else to teach THEIR beliefs, but for us to want to raise our children according to our OWN Values is so scary?
Rant over.
How are YOU?
i think about this quite a bit as well, as you know. ;) all i can figure is that when others feel threatened (and this goes for myself as well), it usually has something to do with their own *stuff*, their own questions, their own uncertainties. typically, this has nothing to do with you. it isn't your problem, it is theirs.
will likes to quote robin williams in times like this, but since this is a family joint, i'll spare you. :)
don't you fret none.
