If U.S. health law begins to desiccate the most intimate rights half our population has, our government can then begin to crush all rights for a majority of Americans.
Roe v. Wade acknowledges rights which are inalienable because American privacy is an inalienable
right.
If half the American populace has diminished privacy rights regarding what goes directly in and out of their bodies, then diminished rights will become established law and precedence for the other half ...all in due time.
We don't live in 1973 any longer. So if in the 21st century, great swathes of the American public lose
a group of the most basic of human rights, even though reproduction is used as the impetus, less definitive rights will not be far behind in falling to a lack of access to privacy.
If forty years of established rights and laws fall, those years will take a great deal of personal security with them.
One by one, any and all privacy rights will wither away on the vines of government formerly of the
people, by the people, and for the people.
And where will those rights reside in dormancy?
They will live within the purview of states.
And then slowly, the legacy of the Kennedy-Johnson administrations will be wiped away.
The legacy of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration will become vestigial, at best.
So there will be no point in hating Iran.
The armed forces, and the radicals in government will rule all of daily life.
We will be Iran.

Dr.Leonard Susskind
Dr. Susskind has discussed the borders of "event horizons" at the edges of black holes, as things very different than what Stephen Hawking imagined when his discovery of these holes, born of his
hatred for quantum mechanics, was accepted by the scientific community.
According to Dr. Susskind, anything sucked into a black hole does come out eventually in some form, or it does come out at least partially in some form at the rim of the hole.
For instance, the thing I am doing right at this moment can be mathematically reproduced at the edge
of a black hole, were I to be sucked into one. At least part of what I am would be reproduced.
I don't have the best imagination in the world.
I don't have any idea what I might be like or look like as a mathematical reproduction at the edges of
a black hole.
But doesn't such a posit make everyone want to study enough to become a physicist?
And don't atheists look more and more narcissistic the more we learn about our universe?

Not Again
Say I am thirty-eight years old.
I have to catch a bus to get to work as an assistant dietitian at a hospital.
Is this a cool story yet?
So usually my son walks me to the bus stop, but he broke his leg on the stairs at school last night.
I don't have sick days left at work, so I ask my daughter to stay home with her brother, and I head
off to my bus, which leaves before daylight.
My daughter also has to get her sister to the school bus. So she has her hands full.
I hurry toward the corner. I attempt to cross a business driveway. A car pulls out, blocking my
path. I establish eye contact with the driver, while a police helicopter suddenly appears overhead.
This stranger continues to stare at me, refusing to unblock my path. I glance up at the copter.
My husband is serving in Afghanistan, and I do not ever want to tell him this story.
Eventually the guy looks up at the cops, then drives off, deciding apparently he will not take the risk.
What if there had been no witness? There was no other person in the vicinity that morning.
What if I had been attacked, but lived? Many women have been. Many, many women have been. Would I have shared the story of what had happened to me with anyone? I'd have been so worried about the heartbreak it could cause my parents.
Had I gotten pregnant from such an assault, would I be forced to carry to term?
If I get pregnant for any reason at all or by any means at all, what does it have to do with you?
If I decide to have an abortion, and you decide to block my will and ability to carry out what I have decided -then that's between us. You and I have the problem.
God hasn't a thing to do with it. You do not speak for him, or for me. You also don't speak for any unborn person anywhere- surely not any belonging to my body.

Driving A Wedge
So- Roman pagans in power in Jerusalem thousands of years ago, washed their hands of the Crucifixion they had the power to stop; then used the message of the Christ to drive a wedge between Him and all His own brethren ( not only those who actually advocated for Christ's death)... forever.
Subsequently, these new Christians began to collect money worldwide for themselves for spreading the message of the brother of the Jewish people. These 'new' Christians collect still..daily...all over the world. The 'rock' on which Peter built the church remains opulent. I am Catholic; but, irony much?
We think to persecute the people who advocated for what we had the power to halt. Then we term
ourselves 'chosen'. Why does advocacy trump a willful, criminal neglect of depraved contempt, in the search for a people to prosecute, forever, leaving one of their own to blame, forever?
Instead of turning over in his grave...Jesus left it.

Road Flare
I should tell Road Flare Mary of Current TV's Stephanie Miller show that Michelle of Chicago is
one of those black people in the city who, after working five days per week, fills up her car on weekends with lots of groceries to feed her two young children.
Michelle does have a pretty big car. Mary feels that's the stereotype for black people in Chicago.
Sadly, the car is not an Escalade though,as Mary would believe.
Additionally, on another front, Mary's beliefs about Michelle's groceries are erroneous, because this working mom has completely missed out on food stamps.
She has had a professional salary for years, so never applied for food aid.
Michelle does claim to be a black person though. And she looks like a black person.
Could it be?

Michelle Of Chicago
I asked the young mother what she thought of Gov. Romney in the third and final 2012
presidential debate.
She sent me this text: Tonight Mitt was just a sassy parrot.
