The weather broke. It is actually cool this evening. We are not sweltering. Hurray.
And because everyone else is posting it and talking about it, here is that great clip of Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank giving a righteous smack-down to some mouth-breathing idiot at a recent town meeting. If Designing Women's Virginia Sugarbaker were a snarky gay Congressman, she'd be Barney Frank. No shit.
I only wish I was that quick on my feet. Damn.
For the record, if you have the knowledge and tools to cure people of their suffering, you should do that.
If you withhold those tools and knowledge until you are paid exorbitant amounts of money, you should be prosecuted for extortion.
Period.
My opinion on health care. You got a different one? Write about it in your blog.

Musings and collected bits of prose of a middle-aged genderqueer minister engaged in a personal search for truth and meaning while educating the world about relationships, love, and sexual justice.
About Me
- Dawn Fortune
- These are the ramblings of a middle-aged genderqueer Unitarian Universalist minister in perpetual formation. I write about life, politics, church, religion, spirituality (those are three separeate things), as well as sex, relationships and justice. I hold the world and myself to unreasonably high standards. You might not like that. It happens.

I love and adore Barney Frank! More Dem's need to speak up to these extreme rightwingers like he did. A Constructive debate with the extremist's is not possible.
Hope you are doing well, been awhile since I have been around the interntets. ;)

Amen. That goes for the legal profession, too.
What we really need is a gift economy so that those of us with skills can feed, clothe, shelter, and otherwise care for ourselves while freely giving said gifts.
