PLEASE NOTE: This blog has been corrected,, thanks to a “math person” a/k/a ”cupblog” correcting my dismal math.
According to the CDC, in 2006, (the latest date I could find)  among girls aged 15-19, 41.9 girls got pregnant per 1,000 women. Also, please note, that this includes girls up to age 19.
I’m not a math person, but I believe that is [...]

This blog is in response to a blogger who posted on my site. I was going to just respond but just can’t shut up about this, so here it is.
 
Thanks for writing. It’s always good to get another viewpoint and this is an issue that I am very personally involved in; thus it is very [...]

PLEASE NOTE: I am altering this blog from the original “I’m so angry I could spit” first typing in order to comply, as much as I can with fair use of another’s material. So, please do read the link if my quotes, of Ben Stein, don’t make enough sense.

Wish TV, out of Indianapolis, had a blog going for people to write in and tell how they experienced the quake. I guess some of the geologists were even interested in it for diagnostic reasons but one of them took exception to them relating, on the air, stories of animals who got upset before the [...]

I did not see the Larry King live interview with the wives of the Fundamentalist sect in Texas, but I did see a couple of clips of it on CNN. What struck me most was their total lack of inflection or emotion in their voices and faces, while these women sat and answered the question [...]

I am unhappy to hear that the wives are back with the Texas Polygamist Sect. I do firmly believe in freedom of religion. But, I just cannot believe that these women have freedom of anything, let alone religion.
These women are like  abused children. They do not know any other way of life, most having grown up in [...]
