Watched the second presidential debate last night and as far as I’m concerned Obama won — again. This one was in town hall format which was said to be McCain’s forte. However, I felt both candidates seemed comfortable in the set-up. After the debate, we stayed on CNN for the analysis just to see what […]
Someone pointed me to this youtube video. I loved what Taylor Mali was talking about and it got me thinking. First watch the video then read my thoughts. Back in the dark ages, I was very active in women’s rights issues. I also taught courses in Assertiveness Training. One of the key issues that always […]

Warning: This is going to be a political rant. If you’re Republican, come back tomorrow when I’ve gotten over my snit a bit. I’ve been a Democrat since I could vote. There was a while when I changed my party to Republican; but that was to vote for the least bad one in the primary, […]
