Supreme Court Decides That Businesses Have Religious Beliefs

Okay, so the decision is a little more nuanced than that.  But not much.  Where does it end?  How is Hobby Lobby different from Walmart, if both are family-run?

The fact of the matter is, those who are against birth control are against women having agency.  There is no better way to ensure that the next generation of children grow up to be young mothers, without support, than to deny women access to free, safe, and readily available birth control.  There are studies all over that state again and again that family planning creates healthier, more stable, more financially solvent, and more educated children.  Is this not the future we all want?

My Birthday

Today I turn 27.  I can't believe it.  The last few years have just flown by and now, I am 27.

Small Town

I come from a town with a population of about 1400 people.  I went through 9 years of school with 50 of the same kids and only 60 kids total in the class.  It was a small town.

I hate it when people talk about being from a small town and then they tell me that they are from a town of 50,000.  That's not a small town, that's a small city.
