The Forming of an Activist

My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Sister Divine Cattle Prod of Engaged Rationality. What's yours?


Scorpio
Daily extended (by Astrology.com)You've been trying to figure out what that feeling is all day. You woke up with it this morning and you just can't shake it. Well, don't be surprised if you realize that it's quite familiar to you. It's called passion, and it doesn't just apply to someone you find seriously attractive. There are all kinds of passion. You're experiencing the whole range, and you'll keep feeling it all day long. Use this gift wisely.


Your mind is apt to be challenged, dear Scorpio, by a strong force that is calling on you to lift off the ground and take flight. More than likely there is a strong person or situation that enters the scene today to remind you of the importance of the imagination. Don't get so fixed in your position that you fail to see the benefits of other ways of looking at the same thing.

Two different sites for the day's reading but both accurate and full of meaning to me.
This is one of the posts one a news board that I wander to :

Can anybody tell me *why*???
=================
Because gays having sex cause:
- people to cut pregnant women's stomach's open to steal their babies
- parents to tie rocks to themselves and their children and jumping in lakes
- children to shoot up schools full of people
- misfits to bomb total strangers for no good reason
- no end to the number of people out on the street who would kill you as soon as look at you
- the National Debt skyrocketing back up there
- war in the Middle East- people to starve
- horrible incurable diseases
It also causes:
- Boy Scout employees to collect kiddie porn
- men to abduct, rape and murder little girls
- the intelligence agencies to make up lies about WMDs
- GWB to fall of his bicyle
- GWB to choke on a pretzel
- Michael Schiavo to murder his wife
- the pope to die
- tsunamies and earthquakes in the Pacific region
- New York subways to flood
- New Jersey house to flood
- hurricanes in Florida
- and this just in: an April snow storm in Denver
It's really quite simple, isn't it? Get rid of gay sex and solve all the problems in the world!

boytjie is an interesting individual and I like his posts.

This fits in with me becoming an activist because I am lesbian, because I am tired of all the above things being charged to the gay/lesbian/trans community as a whole by scared little children.

This country is in deep shit and it's not because of the GLBT Community, it's because of the religicons that are in political office right now. The ones who think the judges are out of control because they are doing their job. They are the ones who want to push their religious "ways" on everyone else. When so many of us are not of "their" faith.
We have troops in a country fighting a "war" that we should never be in, and before you slam me for not supporting the troops: I am a Viet Nam Era Vet.
I was home on leave before going to Germany when I watched the fall of Siagon on tv.
I have no problem with our troops, I send my love to them in my prayers everyday.
I am speaking out because I am tired of the prejudice of the religicons to everything that isn't a part of "their" bible which has been retranslated so many times that the original terms and meanings are all a jumble.

The Storm Cloud

The Storm Cloud wakes from a long sleep.
The Storm Cloud see the hurt and harm
coming to this world of hers.
The Storm Cloud stirs building the steam,
energy to speak out.
The Storm Cloud soon will be thundering,
lightning all over the unholy of the "holy
people"
Their ways are not everyone's ways.
They have lost respect.
The Storm Cloud is here and will not be
chased away.

More later, as I have a few more things to put together.
