Happy Halloween, I hope that all of you out there are having fun and above all being safe. Enjoy the Pagan holiday!! So how do most christian reconcile this evil holiday? OH well, maybe for another day. This year for me my Hallows Eve will be spent at work, for all those who are suddenly sick or injured. So have fun, and enjoy this awesome (one of my favorite) holidays! See ya tomorrow

Well my fellow Americans, Tne time to vote is rapidly aproching us, as we will venture out to vote we will change the history of our country. For better, I hope not for the wost. I was gonna write about how scientificaly illiterate McCain and Paulin are. The point is null I feel at this time, we have already made up our minds. I can only hope that we can get a president who understands the power of science and technology, and that peace not war is our major concern, especially with the power to destroy our feeble race. So what are everyone elses incites? Who do you all hope becomes the president? Who do you think will be the best for science and education? Personaly the McCain, Paulin ticket isn't too good, so I hope Obama/Biden gives us hope.

Whew the hot topic in town! Prop 8 and my favorite columnist marlee shrider. This time I actually felt some twinge of “that sucks” for her lol. I’m writing in response to her article Friday

http://www.bakersfield.com/...

This time she wasn’t just deplorably wrong, and actually wanted a factual debate to take place, but well she was bashed by the very people who preach tolerance. Oh well, there are some things I wont tolerate, but on with the post. Soon this will be over and we can chat of other things, much grumpier things.

It’s rather shameful, that the opposing group didn’t treat you with the respect needed and deserved to a guest for a debate. Some of your points are a little off, with all due respect

        & nbsp;   You bring out the point that it is true religious organizations wont be forced to marry people, based on their religious beliefs. Then you continue to bring up several points. I wont reiterate here but did you notice that not one of those was a “RELIGIOUS” institution. The fact is business shouldn’t discriminate against race, age, sex, sexual preference, or religion. In fact those people where being discriminated against because of a sexual preference. Lets use a different example, lets say I owned a business and I belonged to some crazy religion, that say didn’t approve of interracial marriage, I refused to treat, or take pictures of the couple as a business, isn’t that racism? They should be treated EQUALLY regardless of their personal beliefs ect,ect,ect.

        & nbsp;   Your second point [“Where’s the justification,” I asked, “in changing the boundaries of traditional marriage to include homosexuals, but to continue to exclude other groups] well that’s up for society and people to decide. That’s why there is a vote on this very issue. If the people of California wish to have polygamists getting married then let them vote, if the people want that then ok. I have no problem with letting people be happy.

        & nbsp;   Yes the woman was incorrect about the whole E.R. bedside thing 1 patient in the back is a standard procedure for precisely the reasons you stated. She’s just crying wolf. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t necessarily agree with them (homosexuals) but I do agree they deserve to be treated like everyone else, not second rate citizens. You had much courage, it appears you went into the lion’s den; it’s really unfortunate they could not be civil and have a good, thoughtful debate, cheers! From The Grumpy Skeptic!
