Trying to Find My Way

A friend of mine noted that I didn't post anything last night. Have I become that prolific? Granted I usually have something to say about almost everything but now, I find myself a little bit lost.

Oh, I guess I could rail a bit about a comment I accidentally came upon while searching for the book "Lovely Bones." She, being a rather religious person, had allowed her sixteen-year-old daughter to read the book and now, according to her, the book had caused her daughter to become "rebellious." Well, me in my all to sarcastic way, took the time to share my mind. Lady, I said, you might as well put your daughter in her room, lock the door and throw away the key. It's clear you don't want her to experience anything outside your own world and that, that is just very sad.

Okay, so it really was none of my business and well, who am I to judge how other people raise their kids. I mean if you want your kids to be narrow-minded, hypocritical zealots, fine by me. I just am thankful that my parent's brought me up to be a somewhat open-minded liberal with a tendency to swing more toward the middle when the issues involved economic decisions and such. Okay, this is pure crap and I'm basically doing a directionless mind dump for myself. More from me later.
