This Wednesday is the 30th anniversary of Roe v Wade. Lets all realize that abortion was not always legal, and may not be much longer if we don't pay attention. And also, I haven't been up on my politics lately...but I read a headline just today that said Bush is promoting an absitence only sex education program in Texas. I can't believe what a pinhead he is. If I can hope to make one difference in this world, I want to make the general public educated about sex. Just because you know about it doesn't mean you're going to do it, but just because you don't know about it isn't likely to stop you. I want people to understand that sex can be great but that there is more to it, you have to be responsible and know your options and stop trying to keep women and teenagers from having choices and knowing what those choices are. I still find it so ridiculous that we actually have to fight to keep the right to choose for abortions and that teens aren't able to easily access information that is both informative and accurate. And be supported in doing so.

Impeach Bush. What a pinhead.
I just got back from an exhibit about Japanese internment camps in the US. And a student at my school spoke about how he has had to register as a young muslim man here. And I'm realizing that not only are most of us uninformed but we just don't care enough.
