UGH! Warning: Vulgar Words

I really wonder about some people, particularly lawmakers who think they know all.

Warning: I swear below and it's not pretty. If you'd rather not read my commentary check out this video instead.




A lawmaker in Georgia is proposing the death penalty for women who miscarry. ????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????!?!?!?!?!?!?! You've got to be f*cking kidding me! Is he for real? Yup, he is. And this isn't the first time this has been proposed. The state of Utah tried to pass a similar law but it failed. Good thing. Could you imagine? I can't even begin to tell you how pissed off this makes me that someone would consider death of a woman/mother because her pregnancy isn't viable. Unfortunately, miscarries happen; they're very common. I couldn't even imagine being a woman who's been trying and trying and trying to get pregnant and is then condemned to death for it. And what if she's married to/involved with someone who abuses her and she loses the baby? Is it her fault then? For this GA creep, probably. What if she slips and falls? Death. What if she's ill or in another way isn't able to stay pregnant? Death penalty. What if this GA lawmaker has a grown daughter who miscarries? According to him, she should die too. How this asshole got elected into office is a head-scratcher. How his mind works is another.

Okay, so the swearing wasn't that bad and I normally don't swear on my blog and keep rants to a minimum but this was one case that called for it. This sort of proposal to even be imagined let alone considered as law is outrageous and seems as though it's coming from another oppressed country and not the US. Are we going backwards? What is going on? I hope it's this proposal that dies not mommies. What a jerk.

Now, I'm off to read something happy. This was too much. I'll need to post something happy very soon to cleanse the palate so to speak.

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding ...

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes...

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow...
